The Hot Air Jubilee was a very interesting this year. Some friends of a friend own a balloon so I was able to go "behind the scenes" and get some great shots. Watching the balloons go up and the glow at night are always very cool. The only downside is that if the weather is bad, and conditions are not ideal, then they don't take off. I saw the other side of things as several balloon teams were trying to inflate their balloons just for the glow and having trouble keeping the balloon on the ground. I actually ended up half in the basket of one helping five other people hold it down. Winds on the ground were only about 5 miles per hours, but 70 feet in the air it was a different story.
