A few years ago, Mildura hosted the World Hot Air Balloon Championships. I headed up there for a few days to enjoy the event. Travelling with the competitors was great as I got to see how quickly they measured the weather conditions and set up their balloons. About 80 balloons were raised at about the same time, many of them side-by-side like this, in a rush to take advantage of the best wind conditions. Not only were they pushing against each other on the ground, but the balloons would also bump each other in the air, it was really an amazing sight.
My daddy is an 84 year old WWII veteran and a lifelong resident of southern Louisiana who loves LSU with a passion. His team won the National Championship last night so he’s really smiling today. Here he is in all his purple and gold regalia celebrating his love for the Tigers, a sweet victory for Daddy, especially after battling cancer a few months ago. I’m posting this card especially for family and friends who might want to have this as a keepsake of a joyful moment in Daddy’s life.

I took this shot from the West End Overlook in Pittsburgh. The Steelers were celebrating winning the Superbowl Championship during this first game of the next season. I knew there would be fireworks that night, but did not realize the full moon. That was just a pleasant surprise when I set up. When I uploaded my images I was surprised to find how perfectly alighned the full moon was with the fireworks from the buildings. The photo is as was seen that night.

Telstra Rally Australia. / These images are between 2004 and the last event in 2006. From 1988 up until 2006 inclusive, this round of the World Rally Championships was conducted in Western Australia. This extraordinary successful event was, in the main, organised and run by some 2000 volunteer officials. Right to the end these officials received world acclaim for innovation, safety and professionalism and were presented with numerous awards including, on three occasions, the prestigious “Rally of the Year”. This calender is dedicated to those very hard working officials without whom the event would not have occurred let alone this calender. I am proud to have been a part of that team. The cover shows: / (clockwise from top left) / Satisfied spectators, Ford Driver Mikko Hirvenon, Finland; Citroen Driver Sebastion Loeb, France; Subaru Driver Chris Atkinson, Australia; Ford Driver Marcus Gronholm, Finland, a happy Miss Rally Australia Winner and Subaru Driver Petter Solberg, Norway. The purchase price quoted is in Australian Dollars. For those purchasing from within Australia the postage cost will be around Aus$6.00. Overseas postage MAY be more.
