Description

A balloon flight with Zbigniew Burzyński, 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 Burzyński (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. A balloon flight with Burzyński and his wife became a great opportunity to take picturesque shots of the Polish landscape from a bird's eye view. 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.
