I imagine it was a bit brisk compared to what you're used to. Did you catch the fireworks the night before?

No missed the fireworks due to my wife having to shoot off to the UK urgently
Enjoying the cooler climate though.
C&C welcome.

Good frame - filling colour! Nice exposures also and good clarity. This selection looks as though you were constrained with a long focal length ... did you get any wider views with the whole balloons shown?
