A Walk in the Clouds

A balloon flight with Zbigniew Burzyski, the pioneer of ballooning in our country, and his wife became a great opportunity to take picturesque shots of the Polish landscape from a bird’s eye view. Zbigniew Burzyski (1902-1971) is the pioneer of ballooning in Poland, a balloon constructor and double winner of the Gordon Cup the International Ballooning Competition. In the 1960s, he tried to reactivate the discipline, for example in Czechoslovakia.

From the ground, soldiers, farmers and children send greetings to the couple. The human world seems to be idyllic. It looks like a part of the greater world order, friendly to those who dared to soar up.
