11 Awesome Close Ups At Bristol Balloon Fiesta

1. For some of us its the first time, for others they remember every event and come back proudly displaying their balloon badges. He might be on the ground but he was up there with them in spirit.

2. Its not just balloons, there were some great rides for the adrenalin seekers. This man waits for his turn to be flipped and spun.

3. This is so Bristol. He’s up and away and wants to share that with the crowd who cheer in response. A sunbeam sees him on his way.

4. The sun never stopped shining on Saturday. Here it bursts through capturing a little of how epic this day was.

 

5. The superb Power Rangers balloons were there, and what fun when hordes of Rangers burst out to entertain the crowd. Here on their way back the Blue Rangers are still looking out for evil. #RangersTakeFlight

6. Have you ever seen powered paragliders write a fish in the sky before?
7. Tom from Made In Bristol TV filmed everything. He now has a flat groove on that shoulder.

 8. This is the point at which this balloon leaves the earth. The last hand is coming away and look how focused each member of the ground crew are. All eyes on a good ascent.

9. The three stages of balloon flight are – Inflated ready to go, Up and rising and Wheeeeee.

10. I got into the basket and this lady helped hold it down. Her eyes were on fire.

11. This GB balloon is making its way up and to the left. Makes you proud.
