Have to repeat my comment of yesterday Jeff. The balloons are stunning but marred by the too bright heads. You should have got one of those strong sons of yours to lift you on his shoulders and raise your POV. Despite the criticism though an interesting and unusual scene.

@grouser: Damn it !! You've found me out Grouse,ok i'll come clean, I am a closet head fetishist,the balloons are only there as window dressing...Read your e mail mate !!No Worries!! I'm only here for the Craic, I do appreciate all your comments. ;>)))

Aha and you have a penchant for thinning hair if I'm not mistaken, looking at this shot.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Taken at night I assume. Those balding heads are lovely :))), but the balloons are even lovlier. Is that a word??

@Marion: It was indeed..It is a word spelt lovelier,as in the Astaire, Hayworth, 1942 film <You were never lovelier>... !!If I keep this up people will think i'm turning into an old fart !! ;>))) Bald heads, i've already answered Grouser.

@Judy: I wish..It was a static display,<they had the balloons dancing to music,> bands,beer tents,bratwurst and pretzel stalls...A really really good nights entertainment. :>)
