Skywhale Mama and Papa

The stars of the show, creations of https://www.patriciapiccinini.net/ and highly controversial. Flying here in front of our Parliament House.
Rather than crop in to a close up of the balloons, I wanted to leave in the light trails across the lake.

You have captured the essence of the morning perfectly. It must be so good to be there right at the start.

[Anja]

They're huge!

[Dione Giorgio]

Gorgeous capture of this lovely scene. Glad you didn't crop the picture because the light trails are very pretty.

[John Falconer]

Mmmmm. Enough said. I like the idea of keeping the reflections. Well done.

[Esther Rosenberg]

This is a great capture. I like that you left the photo as is to see the light reflecting on the water.

[Lou Ann]

I think they are wonderful and fun. I sure don’t see anything controversial about them.

[Yoland]

Beautiful evening shot, the reflection across the water makes this pic :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

The glow of the balloons is wonderful and really like the way that is ripples across the water. Fav.

@onewing thanks Babs, and not even cold this year although it would have been better without the rain!
@stiggle they are really big!
@sangwann thanks Dion, good to get the feedback

@johnfalconer thanks for your supportive feedback John
@carolmw Hi Carol, I guess you could call it night, but was actually pre dawn and you can see the other balloon shots after this one were more light.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a delight to see & your capture is great!
