Surveying your space!

Girl busy inflating her hot air balloon on Palace Green, Durham. She is only using cold air at this stage, and sadly this was as much as we got to see of this balloon, the wind was deemed to be too high to allow it to fly.

Excellent detail and color on this image of the balloon. A shame it could not fly because of the wind.

Pity you didn't get the opportunity to photograph any of the balloons in the sky. However, this is a very colourful shot.

It's too bad it didn't get to fly but safety comes first. They are so much fun to see in the air, and even more fun to fly in!
