Hot Air Balloon

Hot Air Balloon by peter

Hot Air Balloon

I went for a hot air balloon ride a couple of weeks ago – it’s quite the way to travel. I was surprised by the accuracy of the ‘steering’. The wind direction varies with altitude, so the pilot took us up and down into different air currents to control our direction. We landed within a few hundred metres of the target – after a 20km flight. Mind you, we did crash into a tree during the landing. This is an image looking into the ballon from the basket.

Hot Air Balloon belongs to the following groups:

    Wonderful image – reminds me of a crop circle. Love the intensity of the colour.
    I was really surprised at the noise of the gas jets – thought I would be on a silent trip …guess I hadn’t really thought how we would get up there…and stay there.
