Showing a few more balloons, and Wylie 2 and the front of my surf ski from where I took the shot.
A number of the balloons skimmed and 'landed' briefly on the water amongst all the water craft which is very exciting.
@shutterbug49 The time frame and demands of the winds mean you can't be on the water and in a balloon on the same day. We have flown in a hot air balloon over Canberra in the past. A great experience.
The number 1 way to see a balloon festival is from one of the balloons. This would be my #2! Awesome shot. (And I see you have experienced #1 as well!)
