Balloon Festival

We leapt out of bed predawn today and raced out to see the balloons fly for Canberra Day. They should fly all week but the forecast is poor for the rest of the week. We were lucky they all flew this morning because it actually started raining about the time I took this shot and we had to pack away the camera gear!
There were two very special balloons flying only today, the sky whales. Photo tomorrow!
My neighbor was piloting the pink unicorn.

Agreeing with Issi

[Maggiemae]

it must have been exciting - these balloons are actually quite huge so you must have been far enough away to got most of them in the shot!

[Gosia]

Great capture

I would love to see this. Last time we went to the Enlighten festival we had to leave before the balloon spectacular because we were on our way to visit family in Melbourne. I love the unicorn

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Worth the rush to the beach to watch and take pictures. The balloons are beautiful but my favourite is your neighbour 's.

Fantastic I have tried to see a liftoff three time each time cancellation due to wind or fog

A super sight! We have an annual balloon festival in York, and I love to see the amazing range of colours and shapes, and to watch them launch.

Great shot, I'm hoping that some the "fancy" balloons will make it across to Northam later in the year for the National Ballooning Championships.
