Balloons in the morning light

[John Liddle]

We were intending to be up early (for us) today to take the car for a service, but got up even earlier for the balloons.

What a lovely morning for a flight!

John, how did you know they were going to fly?
It is a subject I've wanted to capture for a while, more so as a large group, but never been able to find out when or where they would be flying.

I was watching a site for the 'Great Balloon Race' but in some way or other it turned out to be con.
My brother lost money on tickets!

Lovely shot John, got a friend who’s got Balloon always offering me to go up with him. I must make time to do it.

I think they use Facebook as well, which might give more up-to-date information.

The way the weather is at the moment, it is almost guaranteed they will be flying both morning and evening.

Remember to book your car parking - you won't be allowed in otherwise!

The night glow is quite spectacular.

Thanks Trev - yes, do take him up on his offer - you get a whole new view of the world and if he's anything like a decent sort of pilot, you land near a pub!
