These components were all shot during a hot air balloon festival in Canberra. Its quite special that you can go onto the lake and the balloons will touch down on the lake! I noticed the pilots wearing gum boots :)
Oh I like this one. I always wanted to see the balloon festival but haven't managed it yet. We were at the Enlighten Festival a few years ago but had to leave Canberra the day before as we were on our way to visit family in Melbourne. Maybe one day
@randystreat Ha ha, well spotted Kathy. Lucky I put holes in the lid! @ljmanning thanks Laura, we rarely missing popping down to the lake to see the balloons at least for one morning even though it means getting up in the dark! @onewing Babs you really should see them. Of course being weather dependent its always a risk, but great to see. Give us a hoy when you're in town!
Love this one- because of the hot air balloons. I think it is a game the pilots play- at least here in the USA it is- to see how quickly you can touch down and pop back up again. When I flew in one, pilots were touching down on a river, but mine didn't do it- there were too many already there.
