Thursday evening was a perfect
evening for taking a hot air balloon flight. Winds were low,
the sky was clear, and everyone was in the mood to take to the sky.
Of course, taking a peaceful balloon ride
doesn't just happen. There is a lot of work involved in
getting the balloon off the ground, but once you catch sight of the
magnificent views below, you soon see that it is well worth the
effort.
"The flight was incredible! It was very serene,
and you could clearly hear people shouting hello, dogs barking and
cattle," said LDN photographer Jessie Eynon. "The landing was more rough than I think any of
us anticipated. When I heard the other crew on the ground shouting
'ditch!' I knew we were not just going to have a bumpy landing. When
we finally stopped, the basket was on the ground on its side. We were
all fine and I thought it was a blast."
Thanks to Scott Wooge of St.
Louis, his crew and of course his beautiful balloon, That Way!,
for a very enjoyable evening.
