How low can you get? by dulciknit

How low can you get?

Lower than this - but not much. I think they were probably going to land in a field about a mile away from us. The balloon lost a considerable amount of height while I was watching it. This was the lowest I could go before it started disappearing.
There's a business offering balloon trips not very far from here and we used to see lots of them mornings and evenings at certain times of the year. There's not so many now, maybe because people can't afford to take the trips so much any more. Sad.
very cool!

Nice one.
It has letters on the side like the ones I see on small planes under the wings. I wonder if all hot air balloons have them?

@natsnell Thank you for your lovely comments, Nat. they're very much appreciated.
My resident expert tells me that h.a.balloons are required to have ident. numbers - CAA regs.
