It's the Bristol Balloon Fiesta this weekend ... and the skys above the city are filled with balloons that take off from Long Ashton to the West and fly across to the East, landing in the countryside between Bristol and Bath. Always a glorious site.

The balloons are so ... quiet ...! You don't realise that they're close by at all until you hear the gentle hiss of the burner as more hot air is pumped into the bag (I may have that term wrong - envelope?) and there's a great elegance to the shape and colour too (there are some advertising exceptions!). Last night, the sun was shining but there was a backdrop of black clouds and it was spectacular.

Further ballooning pictures available on our ballooning page (where else!) and on the page that covers Beach, South Gloucestershire where the pictures for this posting were taken.
