National Pass, Blue Mountains

Panorama from the National Pass steps at Wentworth Falls. Stiched using AutoStitch - a fantastic automatic stiching program written by a couple of guys at the University of British Columbia. Mightn't look so great shrunk down for display in the blog however :(

Just a little flower, but a tilt and pivot LCD can be handy...

Top of the canopy. The balloon is still horizontal, but is inflated with air (cold at this stage). The 'spoke' arrangement is controlled by guy wires from the basket, and can be used to release hot air from the top of the balloon (to make the balloon descend quickly - usually used just prior to landing).

Another ballooning photo. At this stage, the balloon is fully rigged and is being inflated by a fan (just visible at the throat of the canopy).

National Pass, Blue Mountains

Another stiched panorama. I like this one - you don't often get a subject that lends itself to a vertical panorama.
