I've heard it's real quiet unless you're climbing and burning propane. Otherwise, you can hear people talking and birds singing. On my bucket list.
That is going to be fun Will. I'm looking forward to the photos from that trip
Take off before sunrise.
Between 800 and 1600 feet up.

An early sunrise.
Coming in for a landing.
We landed the basket on the trailer. Very impressive.

It was extremely peaceful and stable. It was basically sailing DDW, but with a different view.

Just got back from a great trip to the Bahamas. My wife's parents are 81 and 82, but they still love to snorkel and can easily spend 3+ hours at a shot doing so. They rented a large beach house on New Providence for the entire family. Here are a few pics from the adventure. I will post a few more next week when I have time to dig through all the pics.
rgranger has it right. SO jealous! Beatiful photography. I'm jealous of that talent too.

Jealous of a talent, seems like the wrong term..
Certainly you are not experiencing Envy, covetous or begrudge the skill/eye of the photographer.
Could it be that you are desirous of the talent?
If you applied your own skills and learned new ones might you obtain some level of the talent?
Would you find satisfaction in your accomplishment?
I admire such skill to capture a moment in time. Appreciate the sharing of such an event. And yearn for more.
Yet I recognize I likely do not have the patience to wait for that perfect moment. To be ready with equipment and know how, to capture the image. And lack the willingness to reflect on the image and modify the blemishes.

It was a compliment in the disguise of a crass joke, meant to convey wider meaning..Jealous of a talent, seems like the wrong term..
