Thanks, The interior of Ashton court has been restored in exactly the way you would think for a building of this age for functional hire use. The Balloon Fiesta was a unique and fantastic event, probably not something I would have the chance to see again.<br /><br />Mickie... Thanks, A festival of colour. The Red Arrows do an awesome aerial display at a variety of famous British events.<br /><br />Traveling Hawk... Thanks, It's nice to find that at least one person has been up in a ballon. It must have been a magnificent experience.<br /><br />Adrian... Thanks, It was challenging enough trying to find the Red through the camera far less trying to keep the images steady. Yellow is the colour of the building albeit the back of it from that angle.<br /><br />Monika... Thanks, The colourful animals were amazing.<br /><br />Joo... Thanks, It was a great but very exhausting day that lives long in the memory.<br /><br />JoLynne Lyon... Thanks, It's something I had not thought about before this.<br /><br />DUTA... Thanks, I loved the spectacle of colour.<br /><br />George The Lad... Thanks, The yllow is a bit odd, but like I said a few comments ago, it is round the back.<br /><br />Berit... Thanks for your great comment.<br /><br />Phivos Nicolaides... Thanks, I am pleased that enjoyed it.<br /><br />Lily Riani... Thanks, There is always another time for your festival. I was unavailable too for this event for several years and this was my last ever opportunity. I had no idea that 1 & 1/2 years later people from all over the world would see this set too.<br /><br />Rizalenio...Thanks, I am pleased you were able to share this experience with me even though it happened on the other side of the world. I always like to keep a little subtle humour in the posts... if I can.<br /><br />Wind... Thanks, This was the opportunity of a lifetime and I was privileged to get so close. However, events like this provide other kind of problems not seen here in this post like where to eat and other normal things that I will not mention here !!!!J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-31192970465955737622011-03-29T12:01:41.028+01:002011-03-29T12:01:41.028+01:00I have never been to such a show!

I like the parrot in this post.<br /><br />I traveled myself in a baloon last September in Cappadocia, Turkey, as I wrote on my blog.

I have never attended but would love to someday. Your's looks pretty spectacular though--great shots of the balloons, the jets (totally awesome), the crowds, and those cute little parrots. Always nice to see your photos.

I've been doing marathon watching of <i>Downton Abbey</i> and long for glimpses back to the time when that mansion would have been a bustling estate.<br /><br />Like the shots of the animals too. What an enjoyable event that must have been! I've never been in a hot air balloon, but it looks exciting, scary, and thrilling!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-87680852063450670932011-03-21T00:09:28.546+00:002011-03-21T00:09:28.546+00:00Those balloons really do look like a lot of work, ...Those balloons really do look like a lot of work, but they are beautiful.
