Spoilt expectations

What do you do when you're feeling like preparing *that* one exotic meal you had in mind for the coming night's diner? Exactly, as a dutchman you'll go to the National Grocerer and simply buy the vegetables and other ingredients you need. No worries about whether it's the season or not - all the stuff is available all year round, whether it's red paprikas or strawberries.
Saying the least, it is a little odd to see that this availability is something of a different matter at Bunjakovec Pazar - the market not too far from where I live here on Bulevar Partizanski Odredi. By now, all the red paprikas have left the stage to make space for, indeed, the strawberries. Most interesting, and this is what makes roaming the markets really worth it: the greens you get on the Pazars is fresh and has 100% more taste than the testosteron boosters from the green houses of Westland. But hey, now I've got to learn again what's available when. The where-question is already answered: Pazar. I've also figured out that tomatoes are the coming stars.

So far for food - again. Here's what I shot today. Lazy as I was, all's been photographed from my appartment.

My back-garden with view over the Vodno mountain and the Milennium Cross on top of it.

Back-garden view again with subtle hints of a building site.
Same back-garden, only from a slightly different angle.
Another building site, this time again at the front site of the house. In case you want to know: all the new appartments will be carried out in pastel colours: yellow, pink, orange and green have so far seen the light of day.
