A young Mechanical Engineer has his interest caught in the gears.

Here's one among my favourite collection of pictures. The Bristol Balloon Festival in Summer 2005.

It is one of the most biggest hot air balloon festival in the world and it is hosted in Bristol (just less than 1 hour train ride from Cardiff).

Hot air balloons decorated the blue sky with their vivid colours.

Apart from the hot air balloons, there were also other attractions such as open air concert, America Chopper (from Discovery Channel) crew with their motorcycles, fun fair, rides and games, food and so much more.

American Chopper Motto:

BORN TO BE WILD!
