Balloon Man

Bird!

wow, just wow.

I wanted to shoot my whohoo photo again. Now I went to Seltjarnarnes where there weren't any disturbing buildings. I used the same balloon as yesterday. That means; I had to cycle all the way to Seltjarnarnes holding the balloon. I think it looked a bit funny. When I was on the way home I decided to take the balloon with me so I could have it for a souvenir, at least for a while. When I was about 200 meters from my home the balloon suddenly bursted.
