Love the framing choice.

Fast shutter speed and 8 frames per second. Got lucky with just a tiny bit of my daughter’s face showing. 😊

It also made me seek out and watch the film itself.

My title refers to...

The French short movie by Albert Lamorisse made in 1956 and won the Academy Award for best short writing. Loved it as a kid back in the sixties. 😊

I was wondering about that connection — assumed it was intentional!

Never saw it.

I'll check if it happens to be posted on YouTube....

I knew it! A traditional movie at the slow pace of a balloon floating in light wind. Lovely photo! Best, E.

As soon as I saw it I was reminded of the charming French film that has been mentioned. I watched it with my son when he was small and more recently with my grandchildren. Thanks for the reminder. Regards Kev.

And thank you! ☺️
