Thanks Mimi!
It was a brilliant morning. We left the hotel around 5 and found a viewing space before dawn. Everywhere we looked we saw more and more balloons being inflated, then as dawn broke they all started taking off. It was a bustel of activity and breathtaking to watch. We didn't envy the hundreds of tourists being crammed into the wicker baskets for €200 a pop however
It happens every morning during the season there.
This picture was taken when we went to a lookout point. Almost looks Photoshopped!
Shame my crappy point-and-click scabcam couldn't really handle the morning colours but pleased with the portrait nonetheless.
