Montgolfières/Hot Air Balloons

This event is held every year in Gatineau over the Labour Day weekend.  They need 1,850 volunteers, so I was happy to put up my hand ...

 

 

The balloons are only inflated when the conditions are perfect - and then only early in the morning or in the evening.  Over the course of the weekend, they went up twice - but I had just finished a shift on Sunday 1st Sep and took these pictures.
