Ballooning Stuff
This morning was a hard morning to get up for. I was exhausted. My alarm went off at 4:15 and I called the flightline. Yep, there was going to be a flight and I was getting an extra 15 minutes to sleep! (Meeting at 5:45 instead of 5:30) What a difference that made, especially after my Game 7 night out. Anyway, I had a dream last night that I got to go up in the balloon, and so on a whim I took my camera with me and made sure to keep it in my pocket just in case. Did I ever get lucky. Marvin (one of the pilots) called me to jump in and we were off...and I FINALLY had my camera with me! Launched from Whittier park right beside down town. It was awesome!!!
I took 50 some-odd pictures and I think a few of them are in the running for my greatest photos ever. Well that's just what I think. I'll let you all be the judge.
Here are a few of my favourites. You might even recognize some sights...
Note the Chase Vehicle still down in the park.
Disraeli Bridge
Redwood Bridge - Under Construction
I don't know why this one bitmapped here on LJ.....it's one of my favourites.
The old stomping grounds....
Gilmore Street.
Peguis Trail Bridge - looks very cool from the sky btw.
