Amazing scenery. Looks very desolate. Nice POV.
And you're in the balloon right? I sure hope so, unless you're following closely behind :-)
TFS.

Hi Hans,
What a good idea : the landscape with the balloon shadow! I like the palm tree in the left corner, and I envy you to have been up there, lucky man! One sees easily t he limit of irrigation...

:)) Amazing - looking at your shadow and it keeps running away from you, not even connected to you. On the ground it's different - you try to run away, but the shadow follows, tied firmly to you :)
Nice view!
You didn't mention one thing - did you participate in the screaming? ;)
Regards, Evgenia

Heel gaaf Hans.
Schaduw springt er echt uit en in elke plek trekt wel de aandacht.
Leuk, je hebt echt een eigen stijl. Haal op de gallery zo jouw foto's eruit. (vooral door het frame) De Hans-style!!
Tot ziens Alex

Hello Hans,
My first trip to Egypt. Thanks for taking us on the journey. This is incredible. Wonderful POV. I thought you were suppose to get wine and cheese on these rides--- drink enough and you can tune out all the screaming from those silly tourists :-) Julie

The colors here are fantastic. You had a terrific idea when taking the shadow of the balloon... Your framing is particularly interesting and it's amazing you were able to get such a clear shot :) Great blue skys and overall a very lovely composition...

The shadow of the baloon adds a lot to the interestingness of the landscape.

LOL... I will be one of the screaming "tourist" too... hahahaha, never mind, bet you already had enough hearing the screaming, be glad you didn't have your ear drums broken. :P

Excellent photos, i like the shadow very much, not many people will take the photo of the shadow, most properly they will take the shots within the basket or some other scenery. very unique. :D Well captured, glad it was a "Safe landing" hehehe...Thanks for sharing my dear friend, what an expirence you got there. :D

Cheers,
Sweety

Excellent compo and colours, those fields with brown and green squares and the baloon shadow are amazing. Very nice and unusual. Very nice frame.

Great scenery and I love the inclusion of the balloon shadow in the centre of the picture - gives the picture a real focal point without detracting from the scenery itself.
Thanks for sharing

Hoi Hans,

Wow, dit is echt een hele gave foto!
Ik vind die schaduw van die luchtballon erg goed vastgelegd.
En verder ziet het er uit als een hele mooie plek.
Mooie kleuren en een goed perspectief.
Topfoto :-)

Groetjes, Nel

Point of view appears to be the baloon itself, is it? Nicely captured details of crops on the light hued soil. Cultivation on the land along with shadow of the baloon are looking fanstastic. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing an aerial motif.

Hans,
Your quite the adventurist. Man, I'd give anything to have a view from a balloon like this. Sounds like you had some "scary fun"!
thanks for the great notes and the fantastic POV. The shadow is perfect!

Hi Hans,
I didn't know this was the kind of flying you did! Wow, I'd love to do this one day . . . how spectacular, a crash landing and everything!

Gorgeous colors, beautiful sky, and the various textures are set off by the light perfectly.
All the best,
Karen
