Berlin from above


For a price, you can see the city of Berlin from above in the "Der Welt" helium balloon. On this gray day, I thought it better to stay on the ground and get a shot of it in the sky. The weekend is finally upon us! I hope you've got some exciting plans underway. I am going to meet with friends to play cards and maybe go see a comedy show. It should be fun! For more skies, take a look at Skywatch.

  3. I'll stay on the ground, if you don't mind.

    Today I played golf. My back has been hurting but I thought it would be OK to play. Right now I can barely stand up!

  4. Excellent composition with this shot!

    Hot air balloons taking off here tends to be more confined for warmer months!

  10. I've not been up in a balloon, which is probably a good thing considering my fear of heights. Step-ladders scare me! Looks like a gray day and you're probably right about staying on the ground. Plus, you'll have fun playing cards and seeing a comedy act. That's what people call my golf game - a comedy act! Enjoy!

  12. The balloon is actually helium-filled. It's not a hot-air balloon. It is kept "captive" with a sort of netting system. I have been on this kind of balloon before, but never on the one here in Berlin. Maybe this summer. :)

  13. When we were there we kept postponing and at last we missed the lift! Next time...
