My friend Marija organized a mountaineering association. A joyful group of enthusiasts travel all over Serbia. One photographer saw a beautiful scene from the "Pigeon Fortress" in Golubac, Serbia on two pigeons .

I used this wonderful photo as inspiration for my painting.

"Golubac Fortress"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Golubac, Serbia
Built: 14th century, Materials : Stone

The Golubac Fortress (Serbian:  Golubački grad),  was a medieval fortified town on the south side of the Danube River, 4 km (2.5 mi) downstream from the modern-day town of Golubac, Serbia. According to recent discoveries, the fortress, which was built during the 14th century by Medieval Serbian state, is split into three compounds which were built in stages.
 It has ten towers, most of which started square, and several of which received many-sided reinforcements with the advent of firearms. Towers were not connected for easier defense. Also inside the fortress were found Serbian Medieval frescos.

Golubac Fortress has had a tumultuous history. Prior to its construction it was the site of a Roman settlement. During the Middle Ages, it became the object of many battles, especially between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. It changed hands repeatedly, passing between Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Serbs, and Austrians, until 1867, when it was turned over to the Serbian Knez, Mihailo Obrenović III. Now, it is a popular tourist attraction in the region and a sightseeing point on Danube boat tours.
