Lakiubeogradu

People call me Laki. I'm 22. I like architecture, photography and bicycling. Born in Belgrade and lived here ever since.

Belgrade is a capital of south-eastern Europe in many ways. It's my hometown that I love unconditionally. If coming here, be careful! You will easily fall in love. Only a nasty criticizing attitude can save you, but if you're like that, don't come. We like compliments.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Gratitude to France, raised today in 1930.

Symbol of friendship and cooperation between Serbia and France during WWI.

The monument was financed by the Friends of France Society and the Society of Former French Students. The monument consists of a female figure in bronze, a representation of France offering help to Serbia with martial enthusiasm, a high, simple marble plinth with two low reliefs chiseled in its lower part. The west side shows French and Serbian soldiers, while the east side bears a personification of Sorbonne as a young woman surrounded by students. These reliefs in art deco style were made after Meštrović’s drawings by sculptors Frano Kršinić and Antun Augustinčić. The remaining two sides bear the following inscriptions: We love France as France loved us, and A la France. With this work Meštrović introduced a new concept of public monuments in our culture, memorials which are monumental and expressive, and openly transmit a particular idea.

Selection of best Flickr photos of Pobednik (Victor) monument, the most powerful visual symbol of Belgrade.

It was made by famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović and finally set in 1928. commemorating the victory of Serbian army over Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires.

Naked man and a warrior represents the new renaissance age that has come to these lands. A falcon in his left hand watches if the enemy will come, and if that happens there is a sword in his right hand to scare or conquer them.
