17 May 2015: This morning I found myself totally lost in a world of natural beauty and I was in no hurry to be found at all. I’m struggling to use words to describe my experience, so it is best to let the images convey the story. Every now and again something special happens and this was one of those moments. I hope you like my imagery.
12 March 2015: Balloons were drifting on the water’s surface, balloons were floating in the sky and it true style the balloons light up the morning sky!
What a sensational display again by the pilots who took to the sky for the Canberra Balloon Spectacular this morning. The every happy balloonist’s attitude is so infectious and you immediately see that they thoroughly enjoy putting on a wonderful display for everyone who lines the shores or for those who take to the waters of Lake Burley Griffin.
What a morning!
10 March 2015: Words are really hard to describe what I have experience over the past few days during the Canberra Balloon Spectacular. Each and every day has totally blown me away with a wonderful display of colour, fun and visual overload. The best thing I have to note is how happy and enthusiastic the balloonists are! Their joy for what they do is so infectious and it is quickly transferred into the crowds that line the shore line or to the paddlers that venture out onto the water. If you were to witness an event like this anywhere else in the world you would be raving it about it to your friends and family for months. How lucky are we to have such a spectacular event right on our doorstep. Do yourself a favour and make the effort to see this truly wonderful spectacle.
9 March 2015: It was a carnival atmosphere on LBG this morning to celebrate Canberra Day 2015. A record number of balloons launched from the Lawns of Old Parliament House and adorned the Canberra skyline while SUP riders, fellow kayakers and local scullers enjoyed the colourful spectacle from the water. Even the local birdlife joined in on the parade!
7 March 2015: The sky was peppered with a colourful spectrum of hot balloons this morning signalling the beginning of the Canberra Balloon Spectacular. The event took off in spectacular style with fun new flying faces including a giant Dodo bird, Yoda and an Angry Bird balloon. It was great to see the balloon enthusiastic coming back to Canberra to support this wonderful event. I had balloons drifting millimetres from the nose of the Red Chilli (my kayak) and even managed to have my own chaperone as I was towed by a passing balloon across the water’s surface. The spectacular is running until March 15 so do yourself a favour and catch this national event.
16 Feb 2015: What a striking sky in Canberra tonight, truly sensational!
16 Feb 2015: Magnificent, superb, brilliant and beautiful are a few ways to describe my sunrise experience this morning. The cloud and colour combinations left me speechless and in awe. What a wonderful way to start the working week, I hope you have a great day.
