Neat juxtaposition, and congratulations for your short reaction time (when they are in the viewfinder those balloons move faster than you think possible).

Marc, I like the impression that the balloon gives of being lit from within. I think it is from the backlighting, not from the flame.

thanks Piers, as Gary already know we have the name to be slow people... but I do my best to be faster than a "snail" (the symbol of Namur !) for Gary, you are right, no flame at this moment but the balloon was flying East over the "Citadelle" if you remember and the sun was low for me but still illuminating the balloon thanks for the comments
