hot air ballooning
Flame-lifted drifting
Hot air ballooning is the recreational activity of flying in a basket suspended beneath a large fabric envelope filled with heated air.
The heated air rises, lifting the balloon—altitude is controlled by adjusting the flame that heats the air or releasing gas.
We went hot air ballooning over the Napa Valley at sunrise.
