I was browsing Flickr and found these nice photos of the Balloon Classic held in Indianola, Iowa this year.

Keep those balloons out of my yard!

That's the word from Marion Township George Zsido. Wayward hot air balloons land on his property and scare off his beloved 2-year-old chocolate labrador. And Mr. Zsido has had enough.

A passion for hot-air ballooning

I like the quote from an article in the St. Petersburg Times. A balloon enthusiast said, "It's very much like sailing. We're just sailors of the sky."

Nice.

Hot Air Balloon Flights in India

Only $200 for a 60-minute hot air balloon flight over India.

"Soon, we were flying over forts and castles, craggy mountains, sandy stretches and green plains. We dipped down to kiss the waters of a limpid lake, then floated up again. We flew over towns and villages, even spotted a herd of deer."

That sure sounds fun to me.
