Bradford Mirror Pool - The Dream Engine

One of the highlights at the opening of the Bradford Mirror Pool was a kind of aerial ballet performed by 'The Dream Machine'. It was quite a spectacular performance, the balloons changing colour whilst gliding over the pool.

I watched this balloon being inflated and manoeuvred into position on top of the pavilion overlooking the mirror pool. The balloon, filled with helium, was later used in a spectacular aerial ballet with an acrobat suspended beneath, floating at various heights above the pool.

The roof of the pavilion was an ideal place to get an overview of the event, it was out of bounds to the public, but I did manage to sneak up there for a quick picture later in the day.
