Captured during the 2011 Canberra Day celebrations, this photo showcases the colourful magic of the annual Canberra Balloon Festival. Taken at sunrise above Lake Burley Griffin, the image looks toward the National Museum of Australia, with a vibrant collection of hot air balloons floating peacefully across the calm morning waters. The iconic Telstra Tower stands tall in the background, grounded by the rolling hills of the nation's capital.
This photo marks a joyful moment in Canberra’s calendar—celebrating the city’s unique landscape, crisp autumn mornings, and the uplifting spirit of community. A beautiful and nostalgic piece for anyone who loves the energy of this annual tradition or the serenity of early morning light over the lake.
