Hot Air Ballooning

This morning at about 6:20 I looked out our 25th floor balcony across the Melbourne CBD to see at least 6 hot air balloons track from right to left (south to north) on the east side of the city. What a delightful surprise. Grabbed to 24-70mm f2.8 lens and took over 200 shots.
This is one of them, cropped vertically with lovely light on the side of the buildings.

Thank you for your view, comments and favs for "Lagoon Pier"

Grateful for all blessings
