Cappadocia from a balloon

I'm not really a landscaper (it's not really one of my strengths as a photographer), but I thought I'd share these shots anyway. I took them from a balloon near Goreme, Turkey. C&C welcome.

These are awesome. 2 really jumps out at me with it's unique perspective.

Very cool shots. I agree about the second - awesome perspective/composition. Made me a bit queasy for a second

Thanks guys. I really love taking shots from balloons, but it can get kind of expensive. I have a balloon ride lined up in September near Ayers Rock. I can't wait for that. Hopefully I will get some good shots.

Awesome! I've thought of going on a ballooning ride in Melbourne sometime. Have you seen the balloon festival in Canberra?

Kathie, I often see the balloons float by my office window in the morning over Melbourne. I haven't done a city flight yet, but I have been on one in the Yarra Valley, and that was very pretty. I haven't heard about the Canberra Balloon Festival, but that really sounds like a hoot.

I live in the Dandenongs and was thinking I'd like to do the Yarra Valley, but I'd like to do the city one too. How stunning that you see them float by your office window!

I think it's March each year they do them in Canberra. I took this one in 2009 - hadn't been using my camera for very long so not as good as it would be if I took it today.

The first one is just stunning. Interesting idea using balloons for landscapes. They usually fly early morning or late afternoon so the light is usualy good. Well done.
