About We went hotair ballooning two weeks go. What a wonderful way to see the world below.

We rose up few feets at a time and reached the desired 1000 feet - the perfect height for a gentle flight. From there you could still see the humans, cows and horses on the ground. We waved cheerfuly to the people good bye, spooked the hourses to run around in confussion and when we flew low, we exasperated a bull holding his harem of cows to come to chanllange us in defence of his realm.

We spied on the secluded villas on the banks of river Boyne shielded from outsiders by the trees but hopelessly exposed to the sky above. We followed the snaking and meandering river Boyne along the lush green Boyne valley which is dotted with neolithic world heritage circular-mound graves. We spotted two other balloons taking off at a distance and we flew over golden hay fields full of rolled hay balles ready for transport.

We could see for miles on end and at about 60 KM away was the sprawling Dublin city and its unique two harbour chimneies billowing smoke into the sky. Still further away, out in the horrizon we could see the rolling wicklow mountains and its sugar-loaf hill at the top.

We were up there for about 45 minutes and Victor chose a landing field. He let the gas excape by pulling various ropes to open the window at the top. We came down very gently and landed on the grass field. The balloon draged its feet for few feet and landed. A perfect landing after a

Thats my friend Eelna and her little daughter Barbara clicking. perfect flight. Everyone of us were truely thrilled to the hilt by that marvelous experience. As per age old ballooning tradition we ended our flight with a glass of Champagne.

Wonderful and delightful journey which will be a great way to travel if you want to go - Around the world in 8000 days !

Now this is an absolute eye candy.Great composition. Nicely seen and intelligent use of the small fluff of cloud in contrast with largish form of the balloon against a blue backdrop.My only concern here is with the crispness of yellow and red which got slightly underexposed against the bright backdrop.

Congrats!

What a gorgeous image, and the journey sounds magical. Thank you for sharing the details in such a delightful manner! This is now in favorites as it is stellar -- looooove the deep blue sky behind the brilliant green half circle of the balloon, as well as the rich red. And those clouds cooperated so nicely, didn't they? You were charmed -- luck o' the Irish?

This is a great one, too, Ken. You are going to increase the demand for hot-air balloon flights around the world. Your framing is just right, too.

Best wishes,
--George
