Walking around the city center (old town) on a nice day, I was marked by several details from the old days, which I recorded with a photo without color, for participation in the #monomad contest.
Only one of these photos has an object on it that would naturally be in color, the others existed at a time when color photography was rare, and that's why I present them that way.
The Singer sewing machine, like our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had, is the most interesting to me.
It has a foot pedal, which was used to move the needle over the belt. Now that belt is gone, and the machine is not working because it is standing in front of a cafe, as a decoration...
The parking space blocking mechanism is that item that could have been in colour, but it has failed so badly (falling out of the base it was attached to), without its function, that it is now thrown out of the parking lot, waiting for the street cleaners to remove it and send for recycling.
My attention was also drawn to the fence of the Saborna church in Belgrade, with the church home building in the background of the church yard, next to which there is a gate with these failed locks.
How many decades ago could a key fit into these locks and lock them, the question is...
And in the courtyard of the church there are two graves of great Serbian educators and reformers who were responsible for the education of the people at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.
One belongs to Vuk Stefanovic Karadjic, the creator of the Serbian alphabet "Azbuka", and the other to his mentor and the man most responsible for the establishment of the great school (today's university), Dositaj Obradovic.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
I hope you like the photos
