We wanted our guests
to be as impressed with Serbia as with the rest of Eastern and Central
Europe, and I think we succeeded. After a day of doing Belgrade,
we hit the highway for south central Serbia. The drive was green as green
could be; the absolute essence of Spring. Farmers couldn't be at
work in the fields given the amount of rain, but the scenery was as rustic
and as rural as one could wish. We made any number of stops to capture
on film the haystacks, barns, livestock, cornshocks and orchards of rural
Serbia. The eyes, faces and demeanor of the older generation especially
appealed to us. We wondered at the stories they could tell.
Serbia has had its fair share of history in the last 60 (much less 600!!)
years and these folks have seen a lot.
