Balloonwatch 2


I'd  missed the big take off in the local park when I saw this lot go over my house 





 But I did not miss the night shots

Great balloon shots, especially like the night shot!

I would love to see hot air balloons in flight! They use to fly over the city in the fall here, but I haven't witness this in many years. Nice #SWF photos!

I love them all lit up at night, wow!

Brings back memories of youth; been years since I saw them here. There's was kind of a fad for them in the 1970s, but they're very rarely sighted now. (Right along with the Goodyear blimp.) Which reminds me: I've never seen a sponsored balloon in nature; the ones I saw as a kid were all hobbies, highly colourful, without logos.

Great photo essay! I'll pile on with the others about that night shot!

Excellent shots! There's a spot near my place where they launch these things, so quite often I'll see them, particularly if I'm passing by late in the afternoon.
