One of the joys of living on the edge of the Yarra Valley is seeing the hot air balloons if you are up early enough. A quick trip up to Numurkah for the Agricultural Show meant that I got to see this pair of Go Wild Ballooning balloons getting ready to take-off. What a wonderful way to start the day! And, we managed an 11 point Best of Breed as well.
A revisit of the photo in the post Melbourne Cricket Ground at Night posted 12 years ago. Amazingly the crop and the edit are almost identical, I have just let this as a larger version of the original.
