A Lot Of Hot Air

This weekend in Bournemouth is the (first) annual Air Festival. Lots of planes took to the sky, although a few lost out to the rain. On Thursday, something like a stealth bomber from an action movie boomed around town, creating a visual spectacle and an audial headache.


Last night (Saturday) some hot air balloons were inflated along the Gardens, around the Bournemouth Eye.


The blasts of fire into them were pretty impressive, and the crowds seeemed please, but it was a bit disappointing that there weren't any spotlights or strobe lighting set up, and most of the time, the balloons were in darkness.


Further along, a multicoloured heliosphere took to the sky, and a girl gymacised her way underneath it.


The night was finished off with some fireworks.


The red arrows just flew past my window now. No pictures, but here's a short clip from YouTube.
