I would’ve thought balloons would need to be made from a material that is at least slightly flame resistant, in order to avoid setting themselves on fire with the burner. Therefore it seems highly unlikely that a brief contact with a candle would do any harm.

I do think people that set off these Chinese lanterns should at least be fined for littering though.

Fantastic shots. Thanks for sharing.

The Wurzels

I really must get around to seeing them. I wish they’d do more gigs outside the West Country so it was a bit easier for me to get to one.

I’m also in agreement about the floatplanes. I particularly like the shot with the mountains in the background.
