Late yesterday afternoon, the Missus called me excitedly from making music. There was a balloon going overhead. Despite there being an airfield a couple of miles down the road, we’d never seen a balloon go over. Plenty of warplanes heading for London for displays, etc, but no balloons. So I grabbed my camera and rattled off some shots. Because the balloon was set against a bright background of the late evening sky, it came out a bit dark. But despite this, I still think the pictures are great!
