Here are some pictures for the 38th edition of the International Air Balloon Festival in Chateau-d'oex

This one had the best spot in the house

This is the one that I like the most (and it was the last pic of the day)

I hope you guys enjoy

Cheers

Excellent! Something I've always wanted to have the chance to photograph!

Next time I'll try to be the guy with the "best spot".
But it was crazy expensive to ride one of those things - arround 400$ an hour

The fourth one (with the church in it) threw me for a loop for a bit. I was trying to figure out how the balloon in the picture was casting the shadow. I had to check out the shadows on the trees before I understood what was happening.

Thx to all

I dont remind if there was a vodka balloon, but it's possible since there were so many (hundreds).
I didnt have the chance to photograph them all...

Simply amazing!

A very nice set, it's hard to pic a favorite.

Agree with the crowd these are all great! I would love to photograph one of these events and I think I'm going to add it to my list of things to check out. Also - if you've never been for a hot air balloon ride, I highly recommend it.
