Up was the motto of the day! We went up the map, driving from Genoa north (up the map ) back to Nuremberg. The drive was uneventful, and even going up San Bernardino pass in Switzerland while crossing the Alps was on clear roads under a blue sky through snow capped mountains.
“Up” is also the name of the heartwarming Pixar movie about an elderly widower, Carl Fredricksen, who ties thousands of balloons to his house to fulfill his late wife’s dream of adventure. Obviously the four balloons of the “balloon man” in Genoa’s Porto Antico are not enough to make him levitate. But the balloons will be the perfect segway into my next post, that will be about a little mountain village on the Ligurian coast that has made balloons its claim to fame.
This street photograph is a snapshot taken with my iPhone 14 Pro with some post processing in Lightroom Classic.

I can only dream of driving through the Alps.
I wish that you turn it into reality one day, Alice!
An amazing photo, Marcus, I love the fun balloons. 😊
Thanks, John, glad you liked the post! Marcus
That movie “Up” is a charmer, for sure. I don’t know what you did to the balloons in this photo, but I love it! Something about the stick the woman in the background is holding and the balloon sticks…such a great photo, Marcus.
Thanks, Lois, I so much appreciate your comment!
I like this amazing composition, plenty of room on the left to highlight the balloon seller’s offering. Putting the photo as if I was there seeing the seller myself. Thanks for lightening the day. A sure Up!
Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated!
