Ballooning over Philadelphia

    We went to the Phialdephia Zoo on Friday and went up in the Zooballoon which is a large helium balloon.  They only take you up 400 feet but, it was still pretty neat.  Here are a few shots of the Philadelphia area from 400 feet.

 Enjoy!! :)

Oops sorry Wil, but Dr Foz made a comment which took away all my thought processes......

The look of Philadelphia is a fine one and you presented it in a way that one could only see from in the air....well done shots !

I'll bet you always wanted a hummer when you were playing something, Paul !  ;)


Hello Ken, my old Chum...;D...!

With a house full of musical instruments, my problem has always been trying to find a hummer...or even a singer...!!

The art of singing around the house was lost with the demise of our dear old Mums... :'(...!

During my playing, there is total silence in the singing department...unfortunately... :-[...!

LOL... ;D...!

Paul....I'll just play it.... :'(...!
