Default Went For a Float* Near Calgary (pic heavy)

Probably not what you were expecting...

Meet a couple of people in Calgary for a hot air balloon ride since it was in the middle of us. The ride is pretty pricey but totally worth it!
Would have been nice to float over Calgary, but the wind just wasn't doing it. So we launched from Langdon.
And I got to play with my new zoom lens. Which I'm fairly impressed with.

Looks like you guys had a great day up there. Been a while since I have been up.

It is amazing how quiet it is up there and how much you can hear. You float along with the wind so you don't hear any wind noise at all.

You got some great pics.
