In the wee hours of the morning, well before the sun rises from its slumber, we gather together around the fire. Blowing on our steaming mugs of coffee, biting into a chocolate covered buiscuit, eyes wide with excitement and anticipation, we watch as air is pumped into a balloon…as it rises tall and magnificent in the pre-dawn light. And then it’s time for a fire…pumped into its immense cavity, as it stand, fluttering in the breeze, eager to sail away with the wind. And soon enough, it’s time to scramble into the basket that will take us high up above the world…soaring…floating… exclaiming in wonder at our very first hot air ballon ride.
Have you ever been up in a hot air balloon? If not, would you want to?
Gorgeous shot. And no, I have never been on one.
I hope you get a chance to go up in one soon. It’s truly magical!
Wow!! Looks amazing! We do have hot air balloon flights nearby, but haven’t tried one because it’s so darn expensive here!
If you get a chance, you really should try it. It’s a magical experience!!
