Sunset in Belgrade, originally uploaded by bill kralovec.
We have a nice view of the New Railroad Bridge from our garden. I snapped this photo Tuesday. The bridge is one of four bridges crossing the Sava River in Belgrade. It is the closest to our house and only used for trains. Senjak is on a hill over looking the Sava. Beyond the bridge is the flat terrain of New Belgrade, a former swamp developed by the communists during Tito’s era.
Our garden (yard in American) is wonderful for the children. It is built on the second floor, which is strange that it is not on street level. Underneath the grass are garages and storage rooms for people living in our apartments. We are the only family that has access to the yard and we also have a two car garage in our basement, but which is actually the ground floor. Having a yard on the second floor gives a lot of privacy from the street.
The garden is also brilliant for the family. We spend a lot of time out there during the warmer months, and even in the winter. The kids have a swing set and basketball hoop there. There is also a nice flat area for soccer, hockey, swimming, etc. It is also a great place to have a party as there is a pergola and BBQ area, tables, and then the kids can play in the grass. A perfect place for entertaining.
