ColorChallenge - Monday Red - hot air ballooning in Laos

in #colorchallenge6 years ago


I am scared of heights

So it was one of those face-your-fears moments when I took a hot air balloon ride in Laos (especially given the lack of emergency service infrastructure in this country!). My hands hurt from white-knuckle gripping the basket the whole time, but I'm glad I did it!

Beautiful! It's one of my dreams to go on a hot air balloon. Must have been amazing to do it somewhere like Laos :)

It was incredible :) Although the balloon itself was covered in patches, which was a bit disconcerting..!

Oh wow... that would totally faze me :/ But I imagine that's probably very normal practice to repair the balloons

I guess so yeah, but I was definitely fazed by it in the moment! :)

can barely stand on a balcony without getting dizzy. I don't think i will ever try this!

haha I do know that feeling! I basically had someone holding my hand the whole time XD

It looks scary but it's a perfect adrenaline. You have taken great pictures. the scenery is spectacular! I wanted to be there!
composition and timing is great! congratulations dear friend :)

Ah thank you so so much, what an awesome compliment!

Rad shots! I'd love to go up in one someday. I'd really love to see a gathering of balloons where they're all in the sky!

Ooh yeah me too! in the UK there's a balloon festival in Bristol, in the river gorge there. I haven't seen it yet but it's meant to be spectacular
