Then and now: A sweeping view over Novi Sad from the Petrovaradin Fortress. The top photo, likely taken in the 1930s, shows King Alexander I or Yugoslav army officers observing the Danube and the iconic King Alexander Bridge. This was a time when the city was growing into a modern capital, but the war clouds were not far off. The bottom photo, captured in April 2025, shows a peaceful urban landscape with the modern Liberty Bridge in place of the one destroyed during WWII. The viewing platform is now filled with tourists and love locks — a quiet echo of a very different time.
Nekad i sad: Pogled na Novi Sad sa Petrovaradinske tvrđave. Gornja fotografija, verovatno iz tridesetih godina, prikazuje kralja Aleksandra I ili oficire jugoslovenske vojske kako posmatraju Dunav i tadašnji Most kralja Aleksandra. Grad je bio u usponu, ali nad njim su već počinjali da se nadvijaju oblaci rata. Donja fotografija iz aprila 2025. prikazuje isti pogled — danas sa Mostom slobode koji je zamenio porušeni most, i platformom ispunjenom turistima i katancima ljubavi. Miran kontrast burnim vremenima prošlosti.
