Saga 30th International Hot Air Balloon Festival (pt. 2)

Picture post!


Last morning's "drop the flag" competition. This is only a fraction of the balloons there.



Solo shot of one of my favorites.



Brian's camera: Nice shot showing a good number of the balloons flying over harvested rice fields.



Us being dorks at the nighttime event.



Shaped balloons! Jerry, a fox, Babybel cheese unwrapping itself and an elephant (there's a panda hiding in the back too)

Balloons!

Photos from Tuesday morning of the 30th annual Saga International Balloon Fiesta!


The balloonists were competing to try to drop a 'marker' into a big target X on the ground. Whoever drops theirs closest to the center wins I suppose...

Last night was too cold and windy for the La Montgolfier Nocturne... we're hoping for more favorable weather for tonight's Nocturne.

Today's Balloon Fantasia, an exhibition of interesting-shaped balloons, didn't have any inflated balloons due to high winds.
