The latest business along the Mekong - you can go up in the balloon if you pay 20 USD for 5 minutes. Although a lot of people were staring, no one was taking advantage of this deal!

When I'm in Vientiane, this is what I see from the window of my office. If I get stuck for words while writing something, I can always look on the temple and gather some inspiration.

What? Nobody is rushing to take advantage of the $20 deal?!! lol
Both lovely pics, but I especially loved the temple sky.
Two very nice captures for Sky Watch... were you not tempted with the balloon? I would not have been as hights and me are like oil and water.. they don't mix.

Beautiful pictures,love the warm color on the sky:o)
Well, for that price I'm not quite sure I would take advantage of that bargain! :)
Amazing photos with good and strong light and colors.
Thanks for transporting me to your beautiful world. I can't imagine paying $20 for hot air. There's so much for free!
Hi,
Your pictures are lovely.I think I could have been tempted to go up in that balloon if it wasn't for the price!
WOW, these shots are amazing!! Beautiful!
I love coming to your side of the world - its so beautiful especially your skywatch today. Thanks!!!
Fine set of sky pics !
20 bucks could be a lot of money for many people.
fantastic sky color, excellent post with beautiful images.
Really nice ..
Lovely photos,love the first one and i wouldn't take advantage either but i don't like to fly
$20 for 5 minutes? Ha! I hope they have another means for making money. Very pretty pictures, though. The temple is espcially lovely.
Wonderful photos!!! Love photo nr 2:)
I love the first photo, scary as it sounds. The sky is wonderful.
The sky of each one!
Beautiful!

Nice!
Fabulous post!!! I would LOVE to go up in a hot air balloon, but I wouldn't pay that for only five minutes. I love the photo you got though!
These buildings give such nice relief lines for sky-watching. And the big balloon, too, though I most enjoy seeing the rooflines.
I loved all of these shots. They are very good.
@gymingbunny - I'm sure that someone will ride the balloon once they see that it's not going to crash.
@old_wom_tigley - I can't stand heights either. I'm not interested.
@anne-berit - the sky is always kinda hazy at this time of the year, clearing up just after a rain storm (which are infrequent from November to May)
@quintarantino - thanks for your comments
@sandy carlson - I enjoy the view from the ground just fine, thank you!
And thank you everyone else for your comments! The list is too long to thank everyone personally!
