Description
Earlier tonight when I came up here to do some comp work I spotted a familiar sight out of the window. We're on a 'flight path' of hot air balloons!
Anyhoo, after a little while I heard shouts and the noise of the burner being activated and when I looked out I just had to grab my camera.....
Top shot is at the back of the house, and bottom is from the front bedroom window. Skimmed the houses and landed in the farmers field behind. Bet those cows breathed a sigh of relief as it went past them LOL!

I see they've got the burners full on to get the hell outta there! Great shots.

Wow, they were lucky! We have balloons here but usually they run a little to the north of us. The burners are surprisingly loud!

Cool shots! Lucky they didn't land in your garden - they might have smashed your lovely greenhouse!! ;)
