Before the night glow agenda, me and my brother went there earlier to see the evening flight too.
Yesterday (Saturday) was the grand opening for this event at the morning.
We expect all the balloons will be flying in the evening and we were right.
However, there were no new balloons coming. (no chance to see Coke, Tiger Head and Panasonic Balloons) Anyway, I was still excited to see the Night Glow event.
At the evening, still like usual, all the balloons get their preparation works done before flew.
The only different was that I managed to get in the flying area and shot better photos.
How did I get in? Hm... because we had the special guest pass! Yeepee!
In fact, we managed to park at the VIP area too~ Awesome~
Let's check out some photos shot from closer distance :

Setting up the flame blower

This is my eldest brother (Lichard)

The bottom of the balloon's basket (one of the team named Fire Fly)

The basket was filled with their equipments and supplies
(not much space actually, just enough to put important stuff.
Anyway, we get to know that there are larger basket that can cater more than 12 people! That is the kind that they use to do world trip)

The most special balloon seat in the field. The two-seated balloon

That's how they blow up the balloon before the blow the flame

The Japan's Balloon

See the flame~ What will happen if they mistakenly burst to that guy's hand?

balloons were up!

The privilege of getting close to the balloon. (A close-up shot)

A view that every photographers wanted to shoot. Beautiful!
(inside the balloon before it was completely blew up)

the other side of the same balloon

Another beautiful evening. time for the balloon to fly!

The situation became messy when all the crowds climbed over the fence and went near to the balloon. It's like "Land of the Dead" zombies attack!
Anyway, on the other hand, my brother was talking to the USA pilot.

another 3 were up

the sun was almost set

come and check me out. I'm air-balloon too. Just that i'm not HOT....that's all. (pitty)

See how the crowd ate up the "elephant"
