Cruising The Vineyards
!I could see the car approaching in the far distance and was desperate to have it in my shot, it seemed to be travelling fast and the Hot Air Balloon seemed to be travelling slow, as we were about to float across the road the car came ahead of us up the road. Click – GOTCHA.
Oh yes I was in a balloon above this one !!!!!!!!
SHOULD DEFINITELY BE VIEWED LARGE!
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us
We’ll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Gai it;s a purely magical feeling as you leave earth and gently rise up toward the heavens,the occaisional blast of the flames shooting up into the balloon shatter the golden silence for a moment, then you are once again in a blissfull place.
