Icarus?

This morning I had to pinch myself to believe that a hot air balloon was passing by - the first time ever in this area as far as I know. You might care to listen to this musical link while viewing the other images in the PiPs.

UPDATE There's now been an article in the online local paper with a (recommended viewing) series of photos from aloft. tinyurl.com/y7uopq7k

Explored.

Every year we have such great balloon championships here...

I've been driving in a balloon myself and then I've been a balloon hunter on Earth a few times. This also means with us 'earth piglets'. ;-))
