view from the air

I must say that it all looks quite amazingly neat from the air. Shame that I didn't bother to book earlier, when rapeseed filed were flowering, but I didn't and that's that. I know that many people dislike the bright yellow that breaks the "green and pleasant" background, but I think they are unbeatably cheerful, especially when sun is out.

Interestingly, I was an odd one out of about 14 people who were on this flight - the rest of our party were all friends and all booked together. Most of them from Lithuania (I hope I remembered this correctly). I still have about a hundred photos of them to process and somehow pass on.

hot air ballooning

Just got back from my first hot air balloon flight. I thought it was great :) There is a story attached, and hopefully more pictures, but I don't think I can write it up now.

One note to people who are going for the first flight ever - mind the advice to have a cotton hat on. The heat from the burners is very much felt in the basket I was sure I am going to go away with only some of my hair left. They probably weren't all that hot, but I couldn't help ducking every time the pilot switched then on
