Rulan's Heart For God

Breathing giants in the sky

There is excitement in Hamilton city, New Zealand. Many roaring beasts lift towards the heavens in the early morning light.

Their shadows cross the sun and they glow in its halo.

We can hear them as they drift through the air above our house. They breathe like dragons and spit flames into the sky.

We can’t help ourselves. We rush for the door and charge outside. We have seen them many times before, but still it is thrilling to watch the mass migration.

This week is the Balloon Festival and the sky breathes with the roar of hot air balloons.

I looked at the links... It must be awesome!

Over here, we power our balloons with politicians.

Why waste the hot air?

audrey, that's for sure. But nothing can compare to the day we'll be caught up in the air to join our Lord.
