AIBF2k5, day one

The pics are finally up! not as good as the pics i made last year, but, meh… i used the Experience skin again and it is annoying no end that it labels videos as directories… i even added comments to the vids, so the comments would appear under the icon, but, it didn’t do that……

AIBF, day one, second event

NINE hot-air balloons from my balcony

yes, at 8am this morning, there were five visible out the window from where i sit on the couch now, so, i went out on the balcony and counted a total of nine… none of them were very close, but, what a sight as they just hang there in the sky… i tried to take…
