One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, part 2

I spotted this balloon over the abandoned asylum this morning, and could not help but follow it a bit and see it come in for a landing. Click to play the video.

Oh dmarks... that was fantastic! Your soundtrack was perfect for it. I love the fall colors and the asylum. What an interesting video. Well done! The stills were great too.

Ananda: Thanks! I tried to use another song called "In High Places", also by Mike Oldfield, but sung by Jon Anderson of "Yes", and inspired by Richard Branson's balloon adventures.

Believe it or not, I had not one single thought about the Colorado balloon boy incident while filming this and taking the pictures and while making the video.

Cool...as an added benefit I enjoyed going through some Mike Oldfield video's on YouTube.

Nice. I love to see hot air balloons out.

Man, I wish I could watch videos at work. The balloon looks really cool, though.

Great video. Unfortunately I was hiding in the attic while you filmed this show.

That was quite nice. Better than the breaking news of the "lost child" balloon. We had several go over the huose in Waco a couple of months ago. I find them fascinating. Maybe one day I'll get to go up in one. Hope springs eternal.
