1. On a cloudy day, traffic jam at Terazije square looking down to St Sava's temple.

2. St Marc church from the Kosovska street on a late afternoon light

3. Beginning of Cika Ljubina street going to Republical square, this is a new pedestrian zone parallel to the more famous and bigger Knez Mihajlova.

4. Different styles, textures and colors in Nemanjina street.

5. Just some detail

6. Concrete jungle in the middle of a real one

That's just the greenery around Danube/Sava confluence with some New Belgrade's buildings in the background ( one of them the notorious Genex tower voted the second ugliest in the world)

7. One small street in the center

8. Monument to Saints Cyril and Methodius

9. Braca Jugovic street

10. Nice entrance of some building
