(Main) Photography->Balloons
Early one Sunday morning a couple of balloons were up but not quite away. I could hear the roaring of the gas burner as I was driving the taxi thru the parliamentary precincts. The roar was loud and constant, I wondered why. It turned out that for some reason this balloon could just not get UP. So it was skimming trees and buildings. Amazingly (After sixteen hours driving the taxi already.) I worked out that it would possibly skim the Old Parliament House and that might make a different shot. It did and here is the result and I think it did. :) Only basic work was required, crop, touch of saturation, sharpening.
Enjoy.
Mikel.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
I love the symmetry it has going on in it. Great capture!

I want to sail away into the night sky.
Very nice shot! I too love the symmetry with the building and hot air balloons.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Gorgeous shot, Mikel! Just splendid. Of course you know if this was the scenario in Washington, D.C., those balloons would have been shot down! No j/k.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
