More than 100 balloons soared into the sky in the UK (photos)
In Bristol, a festival of balloons.
The largest in Europe, the Bristol international balloon festival this weekend celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Tourists and residents admire the indescribable sight: about 130 balloons, delivered to the estate of Ashton Court from all over the world, soar into the sky at dawn and sunset. However, this year some of the flights had to be cancelled due to bad weather.
This year spectators surprise and giant inflatable figures.
One of the most spectacular — night show. Festival guests look forward to it. Balloons glow in the dark music. And ends with a celebration of balloons with the impressive fireworks.
The Bristol international balloon festival is held annually and attracts more than 100 thousand spectators on each day.
In 2003, the influx of visitors almost led to the collapse of the famous Clifton suspension bridge, which is one of the main attractions of the city and the country. Since then, during the festival the bridge is closed for vehicles.
