Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

I arrived at the International Balloon Fiesta at about 5pm to watch the mass ascent - 85 hot air balloons rising into the air at the same time - amazing!

Then we sat on the grass like festival groupies for two and a half hours - all though tea and carrot cake is hardly rock and roll - to wait for the night glow. The night glow is a lovely show of lights and balloons to music finished off by a firework display.

This picture is the opening scene to the Nightglow :)
