A "few" balloons

This phot seems to be the most popular of my stream. Even if it's impressive, I really don't like it... really, the colours are wrong, the framing is odd and full of disturbing things.

If you are impressed by this one, check out the Hot Air Balloons set, there are so much better photos in it (I hope).

Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most interesting.

    Wonderful Mortimer - this really puts a smile on my face - I should be in bed for hours but I HAD to fave this shot - We have something similar in Chateaux-d'Oeux but probably not as big as this. Wouldn't know! Great, in every respect. Colours, Lights, Forms - congratulations.

    Hi Vol-au-Vent, from Chateaux-D'oex? I went there every year until lately. It's a great event!
    but quite smaller, Chateaux-D'oex hosts 50 to 80 balloons (which is already quite a big event), but Chambley way around 800 balloons I think, so a lot bigger.

    Thank you for your fav and have a good night ;)
