Thanks, It was an amazing sight to see as they all took off.<br /><br />Adrian... Thanks, There was a night display but it was 5 hours on the feet was enough for one day and I didn't show the photo that I took of the temporary (festival) toilet queue !!<br /><br />Joo... Thanks, The variety of balloon shapes were unbelievable. I was dropped off the previous day to see the Banksy exhibition and saw the car in the sky for the first time... amazing sight.<br /><br />Trevor Woodford... Thanks, I am pleased you enjoyed it as much as I did.<br /><br />Midwest to Midlands... Thanks for your great comment.<br /><br />Traveling Hawk... Thanks, I had to wait several plane trips for that shot as it was either too much daylight, too dark or too cloudy.<br /><br />DUTA... Thanks, I'm pleased you liked my final celebration of South west colour.<br /><br />Wind... Thanks, I thought you might appreciate this one. Thankfully I avoided getting stuck on that bus & made my escape with EasyJet.<br /><br />Cranberry Morning... Thanks, It took a long time to work out what they were all going to be as they were inflating and the field just looked liked chaos.<br /><br />Debbie Smith... Thanks, I thought I could use the dog balloon for some humour and I was fortunate to have a good vantage point.<br /><br />Mahon... Thanks, I'm pleased that you enjoyed this one. This has to be one of my top 5 favourite posts to date.<br /><br />Blyde Nesser... Thanks, I am just pleased that I can share it with you. I think for a selection of various reasons, I don't think I'll have the chance to visit this festival again in a hurry.<br /><br />Rizalenio... Thanks, It's amazing how the same balloons can be seen on tour all over the world. The Scotsman was massive.<br /><br />Phivos Nicolaides... Thanks, your comments are always very welcome.<br /><br />Luzia... Thanks, I'm pleased that you enjoyed it.<br /><br />George the Lad... Thanks, They all seemed to float away in the direction of Bath on both days. I didn't think of that scenario before.<br /><br />Mickie... Thanks, You will not be disappointed, a trip of a lifetime.<br /><br />Monika... Thanks, As a explained earlier, it took me several plane trips to get this one photo.<br /><br />Dmarie...
