      Nice pics Neil! Love the Kookaburra. If youre heading out this way again tomorrow,..can you snap a shot towards Cockington Green way and the golf course up the hill a bit..you might just get my roof in there somewhere. Would love to see this area from birds eye view.

        See, theres my problem with ballooning - I couldnt see how two of those balloons in photo 2 were going to avoid landing in the middle of Burley-Griffin.....

        Great looking shots Neil, if I wasnt such a wuss Id almost be tempted.....

          It must be wonderful to float through the air like that - its on my agenda of must dos!

          On my way home today I saw an ultra-light on a trailer - looked like it had a plastic bucket for a nose and an over-sized computer fan on the back...now that to me is scary!

            Yes, the photos are stunning but give me a screaming mass of hundreds of parts in opposition to each other any day! (thats a helicopter folks...)

              Oh well just for you Viviane this was the balloon we worked and flew in 2006. It didnt stay there it is called a splash and dash - come down touch the water and take off again. Get it right and it is great wrong and you get wet feet, ankles and knees but you will take off again.

                    Nah all 4 girls looked pretty good. Funnily enough everyone wanted to look inside that one to see the rest of the picture. Lots of photos taken of that particular balloon. It is completely inkjet printed from top to bottom. Not only looked great but a very competitive competition balloon with very high ascent and decent rates, a real pleasure to work with. Ill dig out some from last year later. Tomorrow we will have the shamrock doubtless find some photos for you all to enjoy.

                          I was thinking more along the lines of this sort of underwear as this is what the name conjured up for me... ;D




                          Okay...so were wildly off topic now... ;D ;D So much for the serious thread on ballooning...;D

                            Neil, I bet your passengers were so busy looking up that they didnt notice how close they were to being wet...

                            Remy, its not you thats missing something - Sloggi is lingerie, and in another masterful stroke of advertising, theyre using a model that isnt wearing the product. :P
