In a controlled manner luckely! Hot-air balloon comming down out of thin air...


That's just the basket scraping over the ground people!

A bit more westerly wind and he would have ended up in my garden!

Aaah... I think he just broke it...

Voila, about the most exciting event this evening at Ruiselede, Belgium!  ;)

We've had two hot-air balloons land in our backyard. Hooray for free champagne. :)

LOL!

I don't think he broke it; I believe there's a way to spill the hot air out of it at times like that so it's less likely to get dragged more by the wind.

Back on the mainland, I saw many hot air balloons..........these days, not a chance with so much water to come down in.........not a thing I'll be seeing any time soon ..... :(
