UK - Bristol - Balloon Fiesta take-off

Families watch the mass lift-off by balloons at Bristols annual fiesta at Ashton Court, UK. Taking off into early morning summer skies above England's southwest City, the airships rise from the heat of hot air burners. Crowds from across the city arive with BBQs and picnics and children to sit and wait for the green smoke that signals a Go. Once airbourne, the balloons start to climb only a short distance, to land a few hundred metres away on this particular morning's stll air conditions. The 37th Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is billed as Europe’s largest (and free) ballooning event. Bristol's local ballooning entrepreneur hero is Don Cameron whose balloons are known worldwide.
