As part of the 2007 Sydney Festival a fleet of hot air balloons took off from Parramatta Park this morning at 6am. They formed a Sky Orchestra and staged an aerial concert for tens of thousands of slumbering Sydney residents by playing music from speakers attached to their baskets

here is a quick shot... I'll post more later

very nice, lets see more

there was not much info on the press release it just said 'sunrise, paramatta park'

regarding the project i think it was a fantastic idea

This must have been the second time up as they did the same thing yesterday - what a great alarm clock :)

I got up at 5am and they were filling up when I got there about 5.30am and took off about 6am and I was home back in bed by 6.45 :)
according to the link I posted originally, they will be doing it again tomorrow (Monday) weather permitting
So you can get up early, go and take a few photos then head off for breakfast at a nice cafe before work... I can't think of a better more relaxing way to start the working week.

You're a committed passionate man Keith. Nice shot. The only thing (completely unavoidable though) is the sponsorship on the balloons. Would love to see some more of this series from you though!.
