I was looking at where the train went after Zaječar, and one option is Prahovo, a town on a bluff above the Danube.
I really appreciate their dedication to not having any square grid in their streets. As far as I can tell they aren't any older than any other town in the area, so it's just some local decision to not bother with the idea of rectilinear blocks.
The Serbian wikipedia page on them informs us that the river nearby is full of sunken German ships full of bombs, a hazard to navigation.

L'immagine mostra una scultura moderna in ferro, situata in un paesaggio montano. La scultura, che rappresenta una figura umana, è composta da fili di ferro intrecciati, creando una texture intricata. La figura è alta e slanciata, con un capo sferico che sembra un'immagine astratta. La scultura è posizionata su un basamento di pietra, e un pannello informativo è posto accanto a essa, forse con dettagli sulla sua creazione o significato.
In primo piano, la scultura domina la scena, con il suo colore marrone scuro che si fonde con l'ambiente circostante. Sullo sfondo, si può vedere un paesaggio montano con alberi verdi e una piccola città con case tradizionali. Le montagne imponenti e le nuvole bianche nel cielo blu aggiungono un senso di grandezza e bellezza naturale. La scena è serena e suggestiva, con una combinazione di arte moderna e paesaggio naturale.

The image depicts a stylized female character with long, flowing red hair. She is wearing a dark blue coat with a high collar and a brown lining, which has a cape-like extension at the back. Underneath the coat, she wears a black crop top and tight black pants. Her outfit is complemented by black boots and brown gloves. The character is holding a red, curved weapon with a pointed tip, resembling a scythe or a hook, in her right hand. The background is a plain, light gray gradient, emphasizing the character. The character's pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other holding the weapon, suggesting a sense of readiness or combativeness.

More photos from my visit to the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge last week. When I went down I was primarily looking for migratory shorebirds, like the Caspian Tern from the prior post, but there were plenty of others.
(Cross-posted from my site, where you can see the other photos: andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/16…)
I typically get down to the Refuge once or twice a year, but this was the first time I'd arrived at low tide and stayed long enough for the tide to come all the way in. It's fascinating watching the little pools in the mud flat grow and connect until, before you realize it, it's no longer a mud flat, it's a little bay.

KEEP 'EM COMING. 1/...
(And guess who dissented🙄) #SCOTUS
Mark Joseph Stern:
#BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent.
2/ More:
The Supreme Court does NOT decide whether the Trump administration can remove migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, but holds that its efforts to do so violate due process. It instructs the lower courts to decide exactly what deportation procedures *would* comply with the Constitution.
3/ More:
Critically, the Supreme Court also continues to block deportations of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act *as a class,* through an injunction that applies to all similarly situated detainees. This is a strong signal that the majority WILL let the migrants litigate through a "habeas class action."
4/ More:
SCOTUS points out that the Trump administration claims it can't retrieve migrants once they've been sent to CECOT, adding: Well, if that's true, then migrants must receive especially robust due process protections before they're expelled to El Salvador!
6/ More from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick:
The Supreme Court recites the facts about what happened in detail, making clear that the government was about to deport hundreds of people to El Salvador without ANY real opportunity to file habeas corpus lawsuits in challenge, a direct violation of their previous order - and mentions Abrego Garcia.
7/ More from Aaron:
The Supreme Court also rebukes Judge Hendrix in the Western District of Texas and the Fifth Circuit for refusing to act on the ACLU's emergency request, emphasizing that the facts on the ground showed that planes were set to take off -- thus making Judge Hendrix' failure to act an appealable order.
8/ Via Taniel:
SCOTUS sends the issue back to the 5th circuit to decide on a better process with more protections.
And does not decide whether the administration is right to invoke the AEA.
9/ More from Aaron:
The majority ALSO preemptively makes clear (in response to Alito's dissent), that the government cannot get around class action treatment by agreeing to give notice to the class plaintiffs.
In rejecting jurisdictional arguments raised by the dissent, they bolster the lawsuits challenging the AEA.
It is frustrating to see the wheels of justice turn so slowly on what should be basic premises of reason.
This is not a system architected to deal well with a malicious Executive.
