Oh wow this is lovely! The fog & the light make for an intruiging landscape!

I for one think this is superb... must have been a great experience (wouldn't get me doing though) and you have certainly made the best of it....

Very nice indeed. The mist actually gives an impression of movement.

Looks like a beautifully tranquil and atmospheric morning to be up in the sky.

I like it but you wouldn't get me up in one either

Thanks for all your compliments.
@Maggie and PhilH
I think you must try it once and I'm sure you're going twice (or even more).

Lovely shot, Tom. It must have been a great experience.

Hi Sandra, it was indeed a great experience, and I'm going to do it again if I get the chance.
If you ever get the chance do not hestitate but get it. It's worth it.
