“The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.”I've both longed for and feared this 1,500-page literary giant. After falling in love with The Hunchback of Notre Dame last year, it was only a matter of time before I ventured into Les Misérables, diving deeper into Victor Hugo's amazing world. It took me two months to complete at the start of the year, and I couldn’t be happier that I finally did!

My fellow Hivers, it's a shame I am limited with my time and can't engage here as often as I would like to. I have an important topic to share here, regarding the events in Serbia. You may have read it from my fellow countrymen, last Saturday was the largest protest in Serbia's history. A gathering that will be etched in history books saw around million people meet in Belgrade to send a message to corrupt, criminal government that enough is enough.

I'm happy to be back here and write to you again, photography lovers! I'm slowly waking up from the winter hibernation, a long and draining months of cold and staying at home. Such is a time that I don't feel like going out and doing anything outside of work and so I haven't really been on many photo walks lately.

It's wonderful to talk to you again, dear photography lovers, it's been so long! Busy with work, I don't get the chance to come in here much, except to curate for a bit and see what you all are up to. I'm hoping to become more active again. This time I'm sharing photos from a walk I took recently - and what better place for some nice photos than the Kalemegdan park.

Hello, lovers of photography! Here I come with a part 2 of my short summer vacation trip in Greece. September is still perfectly suitable time to visit there - the temperatures are not as high as in July and August, and the days not as long, but the sea is probably the warmest and you can spend majority of the day on the beach without worrying about sunburns.

Same as after my first reading, now, 15 years later, I still hesitate to casually recommend this magnificent novel to anyone after re-reading.I hesitate because it will demand a level of patience from the reader that we often lack in modern times, a willingness to embrace vividly drawn characters in all their imperfections, and a strong stomach to endure the graphic depictions of wartime horror.
