'Flying Instead of Riding?'

Since the dawn of the man, through the long centuries, there was an unfulfilled wish. We watched the birds and envied them for their wings, for all that freedom they had while flying high above our heads.

It took time to think and experiment. Many of us failed badly but in the end, we've finally reached the skies and gained the pleasure of watching the world from bird's perspective.

Today, everyone can fly. Hot air balloon is one of several ways to raise oneself above the ground. I park my bike and enter a crowded place where the ballons are set.

The principle is simple. The burner heats the air and, as hot air is lighter than the cold one, it lifts the balloon and it moves according to the air currents. As long as the air is constantly re-heated, the balloon flies. When its time to land, the pilot simply lets it gradually cool down to the point of gentle descent.

The gas for heating the air is packed tightly in the basket with the passengers.

I thought I was going to fly in one of those baskets today, but the forecast stopped the show. At least, I'll have something to look forward to in the future. Hope has a strange way of promising things. We all love to believe those promises. Wonder if we'd ever been flying if there was no hope.

Enjoy your day! :-)
