Photographed in Piazza Dei Miracoli, Pisa, Italy, at the Pisa Cathedral. The world famous leaning tower of Pisa is located on the other side of this piazza. This is my entry for the current contest. Thanks for looking and leaving a comment.

That colourful balloon looks huge next to the building Doug. It will make a good entry for the contest with all those colours.

He huffed and he puffed and then..........he huffed and puffed some more Gibbs.
I never thought about using a balloon to straighten the tower.
Good one for the contest.

Great shot of the balloon, Doug, nestled in there so close to the building - I guess it is going up not down. Brilliant colors - good luck in the contest.

The leaning Tower of Pisa is another thing I wish I could have seen when I was in Italy back in 95. Did you venture to the other side of the piazza to get a shot for us? Excellent shot of this balloon. The colors are very contrasting, and a good entry for the contest. Well done, Doug.

Now this brings back memories of my recent hot air balloon flight ... except I wish it had been in Pisa, Italy. Love the color contrasts & an excellent entry for the current contest, Doug. Way to go.

If this is a 'Little' balloon...then I wouldn't like to come across the boy/girl that holds it!.....lol

I would love to go up in one of those...But heights are not good for me!..(This is why I cannot fly by plane!)

Wonderful composition and contrasts against the tower!..

Good Luck

Doug, I didn't know that the Italians would be that inventive and creative to resolve the problem of the leaning Pisa tower this way, LOL!!!

Wonderful contrasting (on different ways) image. Excellent entry.
Good Luck my friend!
