My definition of a sport includes profuse sweating. Only sweating done balloning is on a hot day or when the situation gets a little scarey.

Nice shots though

I call it "Transportation" because like it says on the forum front page

Transportation (41 Viewing)
Aviation, trains, cars, boats, bikes, submarines, balloons...

Call it what you want...the second shot is very nice.

[PhotosGuy]

yep thats sport, I'm a licensed pilot btw :) but I can't take camera with me when I'm up there... too much to handle at once :) controling it is quite complicated actually, looking for the right streams of air etc.

It's transportation or a pastime.

If they are racing it's a sport. ;)

It's a great experience :D

Love the pics - I have many of them, including that one of yours that was over here for the Canberra Balloon Fiesta last year.

It's a great way to travel, too - snag a ride, it's worth it!

Thanks for the pix - very enjoyable.

Great shots, especially the second one!
