International Hot Air-Balloon Festival Filzmoos/Austria 2011

Since 32 years Filzmoos in Austria is having yearly a Balloon Festival. This year over 40 ballooning teams came from all over Europe even from Russia. 

In the morning out of the Hotel window.

One of the nicest balloons this time.

My father: one of the best Pilots.

Austria out of the balloon. Some shots are from 3,5 km up in the air. It was an amazing feeling up there. Thanks to the Balloonteam.

Flying over the Bischofsmütze. Sharing the sky with 40 other Balloons.

An incredible view 100% clarity. We are so small!

Shortly before making a little stop over in the mountains.

In the evening it is tradition to have a Night glow. Therefor the balloon will get ready for start, but they will stand on the ground. The music starts to play and over funk there is someone giving commands for each balloon. So they will fire on there command and the night will glow in the rhythm of the music. A very nice event. Around 9000 people watched the spectacle. The townsfolk is counting 1000 people.
