Up, Up and Away...

The largest mass ascent of hot air balloons took place recently
at the biennial Lorraine Mondial Air Ballons rally in Chambley, France.
Pilots from around the world lifted off in 329 balloons on 26 July.

I went up in one once and at the time (this was during my skydiving days) I thought it was too slow and a bit boring. Maybe I'd have a different perspective.

Anyway, I still love to look at them...
