Steve,
It's supposed the Montgolfier Brothers built the first flying balloon with
hot air, in 1783.

I learn something every day...

But, as wrote Charlie, maybe a bit of chauvinisme... :-)


mais pourquoi pas...


Charlie is the expert, here !

Thanks,

Marc,
 Beautiful shots.   Love the backlight on the water.
It looks like you have corrected the verticals in the
Amboise image.  Correcting verticals optically was worked
out in photography from Montgolfières.  (Although Capitan
Scheimpflug probably didn't call them that.)

I wondered about that name, I thought balloon of sorts, where did this
name come from?


Steve


 Now it's almost trivial.
 In any case I like it.
 You're making me miss France a lot. :-)
