Double chair balloon..

Thought I would complete a week of the Balloon's.. This one was a bit different than the others as it did not have a basket but two seats and they sat side by side.. The lady on the right made the whole balloon by hand.. would take some sewing machine to deal with all this material.. a great job done..

I am glad to see you finished out the week of balloons. The calendar looks great.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

oh, that looks so scary! Great shot though

[julia]

@shepherdmanswife That's what I thought.. but they looked really relaxed..

[Delia]

Amazing. How incredible to be floating in the air underneath fabric you have sewn

[Leana Niemand]

I Love this, a fav.

[Dianne]

Very cool image - and one clever lady to make that balloon!

[Hazel]

Amazing shot and amazing story of the handmade balloon. (Nor Ray nor I would be up for this!!)

[Sue Cooper]

Wonderful shot and great story.

[Babs]

Fabulous shot, but this one looks so scary. wouldn't fancy going up in that balloon.

[Chris K]

what an amazing sewing job but you wouldnt get me up in that one

[sally agnew]

I am in awe with the thought that this was handmade. Love how relaxed they both are. Thank you for sharing this Julia :)

[Kane Arlow]

Great shot. They are very brave to dangle there like that.

[Pat Knowles]

Braver than me I'm afraid....being a wimp makes you miss exciting stuff!

[gloria jones]

Great capture

[Denise fuller]

super shot

[Irene]

I would like the comfort of a basket to go up in,not a chair even if I was strapped in! What an amazing sewing job. Great shot

@kelly2 @denisefuller @seattlite @happypat @karlow75 @hermann @onewing @onewing @susiemc @quietpurplehaze @dide @leananiemand @deliad Yes I thought they were very brave, I have always thought I would like to go in a Hot air balloon, but I would definitely want to go in a 'LARGE' basket ... thanks for all your comments..

[Tony]

Terrific capture, love the composition, the subject and the lighting.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I've never seen a balloon with seats instead of a basket, and I've never heard of anyone making the balloon themselves either. She deserves that lofty view!

[Taffy]

This is amazing -- I thought the two chairs were part of the balloon design (as in not real people!). How exciting to see this in person!

[Keri]

Incredible what people get up to. Great image. I really enjoyed you ballooning series.

[julia]

@pitasmum Thanks Keri.. I was like a kid in a candy shop..

[Denise Wood]

Amazingly different :)

[Paula W]

Goodness that must have taken ages and used an awful lot of fabric! Well done that lady, she is obviously confident in her sewing ability too!

[Leslie]

I can only imagine that fabric bill. It looks relaxing but scary to me . Wonder if they land running. Looks like she's the one controlling the balloon.
