Balloons approaching the Lock (Slussen). Down there’s all the traffic with all sorts of noises but high up above it’s tremendously quiet and peaceful. See more? More to come ...

City photoblogging doesn't get any better than this. A familiar sight from a different angle with a totally unexpected foreground. Thanks for sharing this with us, Peter H.

Also, notice those resting (or possibly napping ) buses at the bottom left. We've seen them before, of course. Not from up here, though. That's for sure.

Wow! How are you higher than the balloon? Are you in another balloon?

Peter H said...

Yes, I'm in another balloon, I can tell you the one in the picture was really moving up and down like a rollercoaster.

Peter, good pic. I've been up too, but it was quite a while ago. It's really cool. Some day I hope to get up again. Now I'm even more inspired.....
