Another tradition an Szczecinek is the “Splash Or Grab” for the last flight on Sunday evening: The balloon teams have to seek a launch point for themselves and fly towards the lake to grab a flag placed on a floating platform.
This year, we missed it for more than 200 meters… but we enjoyed the flight alongside our ballooning friends nevertheless, in deep gratitude for having experienced such a wonderful weekend.
Thanks again to Marlena, Ewa and Bartosz for perfect organisation, to Johanna for your lovely photographs and to Dieter for your great help with retrieving! :-)
A LIFE OF BALLOONING
The passion of a lifetime: To behold the stunning beauty of our world like no one else, free like a bird, high in the sky, yet one with nature, using the oldest principle of flight known to man: Lighter than air.
No wings, no noise, no pressure… just serenity, just perfect bliss. At one with the elements… at one with yourself.
