A bird, a balloon and a bell-tower

I wasn't at all well in the night, so decided to stay at home in the warm today.

In the afternoon I ventured out as far as the shed, and then promptly went back indoors again. The bitter wind has dropped, the temperature was just above nil, and there was a watery sunshine to boot.

I noticed this hot air balloon slowly descending over town, behind the bell-tower of this church. The sense of perspective at this distance almost made it seem as if the balloon would pop once it reached the point of the tower. Which of course it didn't ;)
