Description
The adventure of hot air ballooning begins on the launch field. The pilot and his crew spreads out the balloon on the ground and once assembled the inflation process begins. A powerful fan pushes air into the envelope. You watch in amazement as the huge nylon teardrop takes shape. When the envelope is filled with air, the burner is started. The trapped air is heated and the balloon slowly rises to a vertical position, gently swaying in the breeze as final pre-flight checks are made.
The pilot fires the burner. The aerostat lifts free of the earth. It is beautiful to watch the balloons soar upward in the sky and watch the graceful flight of these balloons in the blue skies
The balloon floats with the breeze like a cloud, in harmony with your surroundings.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others. You can see more of my work on my homepage in the various galleries I have created.
