The Sloth and the Tiger balloons managed to take off just as the mist started rising off the lake, which delayed the take off of most of the other balloons.
Those darn bots had a lot to answer for! Turns out hardly anyone looks at my photos after all, lol!
@pusspup I think the sloth and the tiger are quite the international travellers so you probably have seen the sloth before. They're owned by twin brothers who live in New York and one of the brothers was piloting the sloth this year. The pilot of the tiger balloon was from Australia.
