More Lilydale Hot Air Balloons

Another photo of the hot air balloons getting ready to take-off from a misty Lilydale Memorial Park.

Lilydale Hot Air Balloons

On an early morning expedition today we had a surprise. As we came past the Lilydale Cemetery and Memorial Park we saw three hot air balloons being prepared for take-off in the fog.

What a fantastic start to any day! The sight of balloons always brings a smile to my face – even if I see them on the way to work.

St Kilda Road, Melbourne

One of Melbourne’s peak hour arteries – St Kilda Road – four lanes each way and tram track down the middle.  St Kilda Road was originally designed as a European-style boulevard, and despite the amount of traffic that it carries each day, it is still healthily tree-lined. 

Albert Park Lake, the home of the Australian Grand Prix, is just visible in the top right-hand corner. Above that is part of the shoreline of Port Phillip Bay.
