No, not my first. I've lived my whole life in South Africa, and have used this balloon often. Just never from this angle.

Great use of the buildings and edgy arty dark edit. It's not easy photographing here :)

I kind of wish it didn't say Hyundai on it. Nothing against Hyundai, but another kind of design--or even a solid color--that wasn't a corporate logo would have been sweet. Cool picture though. Has sort of an Edgar Alan Poe kind of feel.

Hmmm, the more I look at it, the more the Hyundai grows on me.

I like the overall mood here, I just wish the balloon wasn't a big advertisement.
