Balloon!


Yesterday on our walk, we noticed a truck and some people gathering across the road...wondered what they were doing until we zoomed in with the camera.....

 I think you can figure it out too....this was a very large balloon......they hooked up a huge blower..you could hear the noise above the traffic....
we hurried back to the house, climbed up the terraces and watched from our backyard..as the balloon got larger and larger, I did try to take a video for  you all but my computer won't accept it as the file is too large..sadness as I captured the sounds of the blowers as it uprighted...
you can see how big it is comparing it to the men that surround it.......would you like a ride?

up, up and away!

    Cool pics. If I were to ride in that people below would have to watch out for........well, I won't go into that. LOL

    I'm terrified of heights and have serious motion sickness.

    Have you ever been up in a balloon? I have! It was definitely a long way down when I looked over the side of the basket.

    I went up in a hot air balloon in Utah about six years ago. Probably wouldn't do it again, but the view was pretty amazing.
