Festivale des Montgolfières de Gatineau

Now it is time to go back ... way back ... to last summer. I got around to editing up the pictures from the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon festival ... both on the ground and from the air. The next few posts here will show some of the amazing balloons and views from the festival. Enjoy! The third image below is especially interesting as it was the actual hot air balloon used in the creation of the animated film "UP". I don't know the exact details but due to copyright issues it was supposed to be destroyed after the films creation but a lot of folks fought to keep it around. It was a neat balloon and a great addition to the festival.
