Bogojevo, back into Serbia

Yesterday i returned into Serbia ( arrived too tired to write the blog, sorry!) after being 4 days along the border Following the route Ilok-Vukovar-Dalj-Aljmas-Erdut-Bogojevo.

I crossed back into Serbia near Erdut, walking on a bridge on the Danube. This area is interesting as there is a disused railway that once connected Serbia and Croatia, and along the Danube on both sides there are small fishing boats, small farms and factories. I hope to visit this area again, as i could stay only shortly to catch a train back at 11 am. The train passes once a day, and painfully slowly goes to Novi Sad.

Bogojevo is a bunch of scattered houses, a supermarket that had no electricity, some small shaks inhabited by Roma women ( who yelled angrily at me as soon as they saw the camera…but i was trying to photograph the tacky supermarket sign, not them!), a “strand” beach on the Danube with an half built restaurant, strangely constructed to look like a small size medioeveal castle.

i photographed buildings and people i met, in particular. That the border crossing this very stylish old lady waiting in the sun..i had to photograph quickly as the border guards became angry – genera rule of all borders: photography isnot welcome! – and now i am concerned hoping the images will come out well.
