Red Balloons

There are a couple of red balloon sellers in the Old City of Damascus. The balloons are so enormous they have to be blown up with a special machine like a hairdryer. This balloon seller kept tossing his balloon into the air in the Spice Souk, and it moved in slow motion among the bustle of cardamom sellers and coffee roasters. No one ever seems to buy these balloons.
