@@patricklawler7167 well said, I thought they deserved each other.

Like many of us, you obviously have an eye for bargain hunting, Thanks for your comment !

Agreed.

Well said, without any doubt or question.

All I know he is an American who has presented Sky Safari at Longleat for the last few years and does it very well.

@@MissMark999 he sounds like art from albuquerque international balloon fiesta

@@JSRRADIO Think you may be right. On the last day at Longleat he mentioned in his commentary that in a couple of days he would be to be flying back to the balloon show in Albuquerque so it all fits. Nice one.

@@MissMark999 I recognize that voice any were

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. It is a spectacular setting in the rolling green hills surrounding Longleat. MM999

Agreed. The sublime music is the slow movement from Chopin’s 1st piano concerto played by Emil Gilles and there’s plenty more to discover.

Thanks so much. I love Chopin and have a lot of his stuff on CDs. I espcecially love the simple piano intro to Krakowiak. Thanks again. Yes, Chopin sublime. Emil not bad either; had LPs featuring him.

@@MissMark999 I feel like a fool not knowing the music to your video. I'm the kind of type who, when listening to local classical music radio station, can name that tune quickly. occasionally. I love Chopin, but I'm more of a Brahms piano concerto type. No matter. Thanks for beautiful video.

@@tomzeeh4955 Many thanks for the comments. Great minds think alike I have at least 6 versions of the Brahms 2nd concerto. Tops for me is the late 1950s version with Gilels / Reiner and the Chicago S.O. Much more impassioned than the later D.G. version with Jochum which is too slow. Hope you recognise the music in the other C.T. videos I put on my channel over the last few years.

Thanks. The most stupid thing I ever did was selling pristine LPs cheap several years ago. In the 70s I collected Brahms symphonies by Haitink, Szell, Toscaanini ... Now I only have Solti/CSO CDs. Not bad. And one Haitink version of #1. The only version of Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 I have now is Barenboim/Barbirolli which I think is magnificent. Thanks for your time. Go Brahms and Chopin and many others. Oh, forgot Beethoven. Sorry. I'm kind of partial to CSO as I was born in Chicago and am still a northern Illinois guy.

Thanks again for your comments Jeff, glad you liked it. Superman seemed an ideal choice for the first part of the vid to the build up of the launch. The real luck was the weather with crystal clear light over the whole weekend. A photographers dream that doesn’t happen that often. Cheers.

You’re right, it was Friday. I got lucky. Went back on Sunday for the evening launch. I couldn’t believe it the sun was just right at about 5:30 but they delayed the launch till about 7ish because of wind by which time the sun had started to disappear. Some you win, some you don’t. I gave up and took off to beat the mass exodus. Many thanks for you comment so all was not lost !

@MissMark999 we were camping and had to leave Sunday lunchtime. I got up early, hoping for the morning launch only to find it had been cancelled, but got a reasonable Saturday morning, so as you rightly say, all wasn't lost. I've never got round to putting anything on youtube, but appreciate those that go to effort to do so 👍🏻

Jefffiles9209 glad you liked the video maybe you should try putting something on there yourself. My daughters helped me set it up 10 years ago. I did another sky safari in 2019 if your interested on MissMark999. Best.

Indisputably. (The music is rather good too.)

Can’t argue with that, I better just watch it again to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Many thanks for the comment.

You said it. We thank you for the comment.

Glad you liked it Steve, and thanks for commenting. If you check out my site you might find some others you like too.

I‘ll get it, Liberty!

Thanks for your comment, you might like some of the others on my channel too.

I agree, but they have had longer to practice and as you say, it shows.

Glad you liked it, It was enjoyable putting it together
