With various ‘balloons’ featuring in the news of late, I thought I’d re-post these images, taken at Chateau D’Oex Balloon Festival, way back in January 2006 and 2008. To my amazement, it’s almost 3 years since I last posted them, which was during the first lockdown period. How times have changed….!
With my apologies to long time followers, who will have seen these before, but I just love the colours and it reminds me of what we’ve been missing these past few weeks – pure white, crisp snow! (We’ve had some blue skies recently, so I can’t complain about that!) Enjoy!
