Photographer's Note

I made this photo when walking with my wife across Visnjicka banja. Except extraordinary beautiful sky and this "story telling tree" you can see Pancevacki bridge and the part of Belgrade downtown.

Višnjička Banja (Serbian Cyrillic: Вишњичка Бања) is one of the most beautiful settlements in Belgrade and Serbia. It located in the northern section of the Višnjica field, between the neighborhoods of Rospi Ćuprija to the west, Lešće to the southeast and Višnjica to the north.

The modern neighborhood was built as an urban connection of the former village of Višnjica to the rest of Belgrade and was so named after many thermal springs and healing mud near Višnjica (Višnjička Banja is Serbian for Višnjica spa). The springs, for the most part, have been artificially shut down and conducted underground into the city's sewage system.

The area is residential, without specific borders with Višnjica itself. Southern section of the neighborhood has many brickworks, but as boundaries of the neighborhoods in Belgrade are mostly arbitrary, some place this industrialized section in Rospi Ćuprija. It had the population of 8,497 according to the 2002 population census.
