O…M…G… these photos are GORGEOUS. Trust me, i’ve taken pictures of gorgeous landscapes, and they didn’t come out like yours. If you’re not a professional photographer, you should be.
Kevin, did you actually bungee jump off the balloon? If you did, i have 2 questions: are you nuts? And what was that like?
YeYe, I suppose you’re nuts as well

Hi Kerrin, I love your photos!! absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!! My friend and I really liked them so much that we are planning a day trip from Zurich to go to the festival on Thursday. We are only able to go this one day and also taking my mom and another girlfriend who are visiting this week. I went to the program you posted and it does not have anything specifically happening on Thursday, however you wrote that there is always something going on… Should we be concerned that we may not see the balloons up in the air???? We are Jazzed and think this will be a very groovy day trip “)….Everything is really Fantastic and stunning!!! Many Thanks and Cheers, Jane

zenchef, thank you so much, appreciate the kind words on the photography. It really was an incredible experience.

David, wow, thank you ! So glad you enjoyed the photos. I’m not a professional photographer, simply love taking pictures. But when the landscape is just that gorgeous, you don’t really need to do much !

Kerrin-Thank you so much for this post. I think I sense a little road trip coming on. I’ve been meaning to go to this since moving here and each year we seem to miss (it always coincides with vacation season). This year we’ll be around for the first weekend though. Hopefully we can make it.

Cheers!
