I like your pictures of the balloon, but I have no desire to ride in one. For me they are fun to look at.
Wat een schitterende foto's .Niet van professionel te onderschijden.

Fabulous set! I would love to ride in a hot air balloon. The shot of just the flame and the inside of the balloon, where you can see the heat waves, is stunning.
You documented this superbly!
Did you get to go up?? Looks fun but scary, I don't think I am brave enough!
Wow! Looks like a lot of hard work!
You really captured the power and strength it took to launch something that eventually looks so effortless and graceful! Like life in a way!
Fantastic shots! Up,up and away! :-)
Terrific ! and you ? didn't you go with them ??
I've always wanted to go ballooning! Love the photos!
Fantastic photos! You don't actually realise what goes into launching a balloon until you see these photos! Looks tough!
But once up, I have heard, it's absolutely amazing! Would LOVE to try it!
It's one of my life goals, actually, to be able to ride in a hot air balloon. Seeing this just reinforced that wish! Great collection!
Oh wonderful pictures! It looks like hard work - my goodness! My 7 year old son was fascinated by this series!

Boy that looks like a lot of hard work getting it ready. I so want to ride in one of those now :) Great photos my Belgian Bombshell
Like they say over here at the Cape when the space shuttle goes up, we have lift off! So pretty but scary to me! Great shots capturing the moment!
Wow - I've never seen one of those up close.
Bravo Jientje - Bravo!
Did one of your pictures some someone standing in the Balloon which will eventually become the top?? Thank you for sharing the pictures, it is true that a "Picture Speaks a Thousand Words".
Now I want to go for a Balloon ride someday.
That was supposed to be "Show Someone" tired eyes I have.
Oh I'd love to go up in one of those.
Ohhhh, what an event and fantastic shots!
I will be singing that song all day :)
I adore the whole balloon series - in this post and below.
I love the ones with the guy standing inside at the very back of the balloon. I suppose he gets out before the flames are lit?!
Oh how cool! I wish I could have been there and enjoyed that with you -- except I would have probably climbed into the basket to go for a ride!
Finally catching up, but these are amazing shots. Hot air balloons are just awesome. I've never gotten to really be around them up close as much as I'd like to, but these pictures are like being there.
These are great! I love the gloves!
I can't believe that you didn't go for a ride! Now those would be fantastic shots also. I thought that this was one of my favorites! I have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride! Maybe some day! (sigh) FANTASTIC show! did you write the poetry? I LOVED the POETRY!
The shots truly capture what hard work it takes to launch the balloon. Love the shots.
