Towards New Belgrade, 1966
Keeping with the Yugoslav theme, my latest showing gives a depiction based on a slide my Dad took in May 1966.
The river in the foreground is the Sava where it meets the Danube on the right. In the distance is 'New Belgrade', presumably the equivalent of Novi/Novy whatever which will be familiar to travellers to Eastern Europe. Also visible is Great War Island, although it seems to have suffered from some heavy flooding.
The island is uninhabited, by humans at least. Our friends at Wikipedia state that it supports the largest colony of Great White Egrets along the Danube, and perhaps in Europe.
A good marker here is the Nebojsa Tower which dates from around 1460.
Incidentally, my Dad flew out there on a JAT Caravelle :-)
