Picture of the Week: January 22, 2010
USUALLY seen floating high in the sky, this snap of a hot air balloon has been crowned The Journal's Picture of the Week. The photograph was taken by Linda Isbell, of Plumtrees, Oulton Broad, last June when she went for her first ever ride.
USUALLY seen floating high in the sky, this snap of a hot air balloon has been crowned The Journal's Picture of the Week. The photograph was taken by Linda Isbell, of Plumtrees, Oulton Broad, last June when she went for her first ever ride.
'It was a lovely experience and I'd love to go again,' said Mrs Isbell, who took off from Wymondham.
The ghost-like figures in the background of the image are actually inside the balloon, straightening it out before take-off.
Mrs Isbell will receive her photograph in a 12in x 10in frame, mounted and inscribed, worth more than �60, from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft. The winning picture will also go forward to a six-monthly winners' final contest, when she will be in with a chance of claiming a 12in x 18in photo block worth �130.
