My First Hot Air Ballooning Experience

It's been a long time since I've gotten up early (pre-08.00) but it was most certainly worth it!
I had the most spectacular morning, gently drifting over familiar territory in a multi-coloured hot air balloon. Today has been a real scorcher (I clocked 37C in the shade at 2pm) and it was really hazy first thing this morning. I still got some good photo's though, check out my Photobucket gallery:

I will be writing an article to appear in the Round Town News and will link it in here as soon as it is published, probably in 3 weeks time.
It was such a serene experience and the family running the business are all lovely. It is easy to see why this is such a popular activity all year round :)

Posters & People

I finally have some posters that have been in the pipeline since February! My graphics skills leave a lot to be desired so my good friend Anthony offered to help me. And a fine job he has done. His skills mixed with my photos have resulted in some pretty impressive looking posters to be hung in the holiday rental company that I have collaborated with called OPI (http://www.opirentals.com/).
It's just a shame that I didn't have some better images of air-based activities to complete the earth, air & sea trilogy. But this just means that I have to do the activities myself and take pictures while at it. So, this weekend I am hot air ballooning and I have just arranged to go flying in a light aircraft when I return from the UK. I am also looking at collaborating with a microlight company in the south Costa Blanca so should get some good shots from them too.
Business is good with clients mainly wanting to do activities where they can stay cool. I am working on a collaboration that involves a local wakeboarder right now so look forward to offering that to people - and having a go myself of course!!
