A hot air balloon flight

filled by Giulia & Romeo

Who has not dreamed of flying above the city, in the silence and ease with which they fly lovers embraced by Chagall?
Those same feelings of natural flight, a little 'surreal, without engines, without noise and without technology, the slowness that allows you to embrace the look with everything that lies beneath, are roofs or campaigns, lakes or rivers, nature or concrete can also be given away by a beautiful hot air balloon ride ...
The first flight of a balloon proven capable of bringing people took place in 1783, in Paris. The ball used hot air to float in the air and was created to Annonayda Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (hence the name hot air balloon). On that occasion the ball was "bound" to the ground and took three people on board. The first flight of "free" happened about a month later. The modern hot air balloons with the source of hot air on board were created by Ed Yost during the fifties and the first flight took place in 1960.
Today a balloon flight is within the reach of all ... it also can be a nice gift idea…(www.mydays.com).
You take place in the wicker basket, and with a mighty blaze the pilot starts the take-off phase. Half an hour, an hour, according to the route, suspended from the ground at about 1500 feet high, and supported by a simple jet of hot air.
Like all the balloons, the balloon also fly in virtue of the fact that the gas that fills the balloon is lighter than air surrounding and this determines a thrust upwards according to the well known principle of Archimedes. A new perspective from which to view the world below you, above but close, almost touch it ...
The air currents t determine the way the balloon will do, because the wind is just one of the key players in the flight.
They then start the maneuvers required for the descent.
Sweetly the balloon loses altitude until it touches the ground. The flight will face at the end, but there will always be a new and original photograph for your scrapbook.

Among the most important events in Italy for hot air balloons there is the Ferrara Balloons Festival in Ferrara, gigantic tourist event on the outskirts of the city of Este, and the gathering of the Epiphany of Mondovi (CN).

Trivia: The largest factory of hot air balloons in the world is Cameron Balloons of Bristol, England.
