Virgin Balloon Flights, with headquarters in Telford, Shropshire, began flying hot air balloons in 1987 and its passengers are still flown in red and white balloons with the Virgin Group logo emblazoned on the side of the balloon.
Taken on valentines day. It was BUSY and CROWDED which make for crazy balloon experiences... like balloons getting shredded by fans and baskets and being unable to fly... but that's a whole other story in itself. Taken at La Bajada (sp?) before it got "built on"
You May Smile along with me, I just pulled this moment captured 2008 , take from the folder called " Questionable's " I do know why it was there ! even though 8 years ago , on my annual Camera Camp checklist. " Capture the first light over the Sandia. Because notice how the colors just seem to come out of the display Yet the darkness of night still lingers, the reason put on the folder. a distinctive corona around each balloon, E-510 the 8 MP days. well that was about the time I read about getting away from the purple cast shadow, so the folder didn't have that many views , another of the student Learns , so mental note 24 MP + 36 MP, Here it IS, Enjoy !

direct overhead balloon passing by over Utrecht, The Netherlands. Look careful and you can see the hands of the sailor. Shot with Pentax K3II and Sigma 120-400 @400
Without a wide angle lens it's hard to capture the number of balloons that make up this spectacle. The sky is litterally filled with balloons. I posted this one at a higher resolution than usual so you can see the big pic and get a better sense.
"Ferrara Balloons Festival" is the most important festival of balloons in Italy and one of the most prestigious in Europe.
The winds have welcomed you with softness,
The sun has greeted you with it's warm hands,
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And set you back gently into
The loving arms of Mother Earth.

Event : 2015 Prosser Hot Air Balloon Rally, Prosser, WA USA Night Glow at Prosser is a real gem for photographers; it gives you the colorful balloons illuminated from within. The event happens in a school ground where they turn off the lights.
Balloon over Bagan - inflight GoPro shot with Coen Geenen the fantastic pilot. He has flown in different locations and countries and this company ( Balloon Over Bagan ) has a great safety record. They would not fly if the pilots have any doubts and return the fee. Myanmar 27 January 2017. Me second from right front row of photo
this morning i went out to Ripon for the "color the skies" event ... and it really was colorful!
for some reason my camera had a mind of it's own this morning and the settings kept changing ... the wb changed and a few images came out with a blue tint, then a few that were a bit on the green side, and then a few were okay ... strange! hopefully i'll be able to salvage a few, but at least this one came out ... and, pretty much sooc for a change ... well, kinda ... lol
hope you are all having a great holiday weekend!!
Another shot from the "Balloon Glow" event at the Balloons Over Bavaria festival that I attended in Frankenmuth, Michigan, earlier this season. Hot air balloons are inflated at dusk, and as darkness falls, spectators are treated to the sight of a field filled with tethered balloons that glow as the crews fire them up. In this scene, one crew is obviously a bit ahead of the other in inflating its balloon and getting it upright.
Happy Cliche Saturday, everyone!
Flickr friends, after Saturday, I will be taking a few days away from Flickr for some summer R&R. See you when I return.
