9 Jan 2016: What a wonderful welcoming for my first paddle on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra for 2016. This morning I drifted amongst the beautiful swans, captivated by the brilliance of the balloons and enjoyed the gorgeous tones of a CBR Sunrise. It you are interested in seeing Canberra from a balloon you can contact Balloon Aloft Canberra via their Facebook or website. I hope that you enjoy the imagery.


A beautiful beginning



Subtle Beauty


The early morning warning signs indicated that it’s going to be another beautiful day in #Canberra



Sensational reflections once again





The View from the Red Chilli

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better!

This just topped of the morning perfectly 
I never tire of the seeing the balloons



Two iconic CBR elements

It was a perfect morning to swan around

The Balloons are such a huge part of the Canberra Landscape



It’s all about sitting back and enjoying the scenery.
