The annual London Balloon Fest took place last weekend. I love the sunrise launch and go each year - none of the drunks and fewer people. Here are a few shots from this year....

    Thanks Skippy. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw that girl standing under Godzilla's open mouth. rolleyes1.gifIt was too good a photo op to pass up.

    Wish I were more of a morning person, sometimes, like your photos depicted, it's worth it!

    I only watched one balloon race. We got up something like at 3 in the morning and stumbled in the dark in a strange place to find a place to park ourselves, but it was magic watching the balloons light up and then take off in the dark just before the dawn...

    But your Godzilla -- fantastic! Glad you caught the moment.
