A few shots from my week crewing at Chambery July 24th -Aug 2nd 2015. Weather was too windy on several days which meant that only 8 slots were flyable out of 18 over the 9 days, though the rest from the 4:45 starts was appreciated. 433 Balloons took part in the mass ascent on the Sunday morning. Friday mornings mist added lots of atmosphere to the photography. Among the balloons was a visitor from South Korea and Mexico as well as many special shapes, the Ark was a real eye catcher.

If that first pic isn't on POTW then we might as well give up. Truly stunning.

Thanks for all your kind comments, the mist really was the icing on the cake. A similar thing happened as we climbed away in this shot in 2007, another magic moment
