My view waking up this morning as Europe's largest Hot Air Balloon Festival arrives in Bristol 😁🎈

Woke up to an amazing view this morning to hundreds of Hot Air balloons flying past my window. 🎈🎈🎈
This is the largest balloon festival in Europe and is held over four days in the city of Bristol (United Kingdom)! πŸ˜ŽπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

There are more than 130 balloons in attendance and this is Bristol's 39th year hosting the festival.
Each day the balloons set off from Ashton court at 6am and 6pm soaring through the Bristol sky's and creating a fantastic sight!
At 9pm on Thursday and Saturday all the balloons perform a "NightGlow" at Ashton court where visitor can see a unique display of the Hot Air Balloons being lit up simultaneously! πŸ”₯

The official website with some more details and some photos (that are probably better than mine) is here: http://www.bristolballoonfiesta.co.uk/

I'm hoping to spot the giant "Minion" hot air balloon on the next ascent at 6pm today and I'll be posting some of my camera photos of the event in the next couple of days so be sure to look out for my post on this. ☺️

Thanks,
Elliot
