\large Let's\ go\ from\ the\ earth\ to\ the\ mountaintop!
\\Without\ walking!
\\ \large We\ can\ see\ France,\ Procida\ and\ Spain...
\\and\ I\ can\ see\ you!
\\ \large Pulled\ by\ a\ rope,\ no\ sooner\ said\ than\ done,
\\We'll\ go\ to\ heaven...
\\I \large t\ goes\ like\ the\ wind\ suddenly,
\\Up,\ up,\ up!
\\ \large Let's\ go\ up\ to\ the\ top,\ let's\ go,
\\Funicular\ up,\ funicular\ down!
Funicular Gondolas, Ba Na, Da Nang, Vietnam

I like the greens in yours. I went a different direction though.

I love that song. I thought it was some traditional Italian song, but I looked it up a few years ago. It was made as a promotional song (like a modern ad) for a new tourist attraction, the funicular lift up a mountain in Italy. It is certainly catchy!

Oh yeah! It climbed Mt. Vesuvius which would later destroy it.
If you love to fly, the ride takes a whopping 18 minutes and covers 3.6 miles.
The system is made by the world-class Austro-Swiss engineering group Doppelmayr/Garaventa.
There is another one in Phu Quoc that is even longer which connects a few islands.

A bit surrealistic, overdoing it a little bit I’m afraid

Even The Grateful Dead sang it!
Inspiration for a psychedelic edit?
