Hot air balloons take to the skies from Ashton
Court at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta
on Aug. 10 in
Bristol, England.
The early morning flight of nearly 100 balloons over
the city was
the first mass ascent of the four-day Bristol International
Balloon Fiesta.
Now in its 34th year, the Bristol International Balloon
Fiesta is Europe's
largest annual hot air balloon event in the city
that is seen by
many balloonists as the home of modern ballooning.
