London Hot Air Balloon Festival
During summer, London has many festivals. The following pictures depict Victoria Park Festival and London BalloonFest in Harris Park, taken placed on Saturday, July 30, 2005. I went to Victoria Park Festival at about noon, then toured around Downtown London, and finally went to see the hot air balloons at about 5:30pm which ended at around 7pm. By the time I got back to UWO Ausable Residence, it was already 8:30pm. It was a one whole day trip. Totally exhausted for sure, but it was worthwhile. Had a good time. 
Now sure if year 2006 will have different hot air balloons.
The following gallery include London Hot Air Balloon Festival (Harris Park by Thames River), Victoria Park Festival, St. Paul’s Cathedral Basilica, St. Peter’s Cathedral, London City Hall, London Life Insurance building, London City Monument, castle hotel “Delta London Armouries”, London Central Public Library, Downtown Shopping Mall “Galleria”, VIA Rail, JLC - John Labatt Centre, Covent Garden Market, Robinson Hall restaurant, Middlesex Courthouse, Museum London, Thames River, UWO campus - Student Development Centre/Interview House, UWOFA University of Western Ontario Faculty Association, and UWO campus residence (Saugeen-Maitland residence, Beaver Hall residence, Bayfield Hall residence, and Ausable Hall residence).

Hey I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to the London Balloon Festival. About your comment “Not sure if 2006 will have different balloons” . . . every year the festival has different pilots participate, with a few from the previous year returning (mainly because they enjoyed the festival so much
as well as about 5 Special Shapes (last year, 2007, saw the Canadian Flag and Maple Leaf, Tyrone the T-Rex [I crewd on that balloon], Felix the Cat and Piko which is a blue balloon with ears and a face).
I crew at the festival every year since 2002 (meaning I’m one of the folks who is part of a balloon team) as well as the different balloon festivals in Canada.
Nice pictures by the way.
