Oswestry Balloon Festival 26 & 27-8-17

[gtf4j2m]

Visited this event for 2 evening launches as it was just up the A5 at the British Ironworks Museum. With a £10 per person entry fee pre-paid ticket and £5 per car I thought it a little expensive so I viewed from outside. I missed a few that didn't launch from the list on the museum website including a Lindstrand from the USA named 'Lindy'. Good weather for both launches I attended.

I am pleased with photo's considering the light was against me on several shots, shooting into sun and some at about 1/4 mile as I was photographing from outside the event. Particularly pleased with shot G-HBEE. Photo's are from both evening launches, 26th they flew southeast and 27th to the northwest.
