I feel like I just saw a hot air balloon disappear behind some trees and land in Edinburgh Gardens. That can't be normal.
Why? They land all over the place. The pilots do an amazing job of steering them, but are still at the mercy of the winds as to where they can go and can't plan exactly where they will end up.
It was more in my 6 years of living this apartment I had never seen it before. More concerned than anything.
They used to land there (and take off) quite frequently. Mostly the open ground to the west of the park nearest to Queens Parade. My parents lived in Rowe St just up the hill - and their dog went crazy whenever the balloons showed up. High frequency noise I expect.
