We had the treat of catching Balloons over Letchworth for their sunset launch.  It was so interesting and exciting to watch how they inflate them, and get them upright. Lots of people gathered with their camera's and video camera's in hand. It was great to watch all the kids faces, as the balloons left the ground. It kinda reminded me of The Wizard Of Oz, when Dorothy wishes her way back to Kansas.

They fill the balloons with air first, then once their inflated, comes the heat of the propane to make them fly.

After the balloons are upright, then the Brave Passengers board for an experiance of a lifetime. I could only imagine, but am afraid of heights.
