Aerial photograph. Taken from a hot air balloon drifting over Lake Windermere on a clear still Autumn day.

Heavenwards in a hot air balloon.

Heavenly and awe-inspiring.

Aerial photography of the Lake District.

An experience that will be remembered for ever as sheer excitement and joy.

Perfect weather to drift over the Lake District from Bassenthwaite, over Derwentwater, Thirlmere, Dunmail Rise, Grasmere, Rydal, Ambleside, Lake Windermere and on to the Lyth Valley for a funny, holly tree ripping, bouncing landing and a tumble onto our sides in the basket amid much laughter.
