Hot Air in Trouble (16)

This happened last weekend. I recognized a loud and strange, hard breething sound in the late afternoon that our dogs usually don't have in their repertoire.
When I looked out of the window I recognized two hot air balloon drifting very slowly just about 10 meters above the roof of our house. When they crossed the street I saw that the sound came from the gasfire they used to reach a higher altitude.
I adjusted levels here heavily. Although the houses on the original shot were dark already I had to splitt balloons and sky from the foreground in order to achieve the black look. I then increased contrast and darkened the houses.
