BaloonFest 2006 at Solberg Airport, part one

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Jul 30, 2006 7:30 pm

Tonight was the last night of the annual BaloonFest at Solberg Airport (N51). We weren't doing anything this evening, so we decided to head east and take a look-see. We, like many others, were too cheap to pay the $5 parking and $20 per person (my parents and I) to get on to the airport property, so we hung around the streets trying to get a good look at the action. We found a good spot in a residential area not too far from the airport. So here's the shots. I'm dissapointed with the quality, but I guess that's what I get for shooting into the sun. :)

Spotted!

That's a lot of hot air.

Not so in-the-sun..

Probably my best shot of the evening. I caught the birds and I think the pic gives a good feel of perspective.
