We’ll leave our tracks untraceable
It’s not unusual to see a Bram sphere atop a steampunk hot air balloon, but I love the stripes on this one by Thomas Oechsner. The boiler is also lovely, with a photo backdrop that adds a great deal to the presentation.

Beautiful! Excellent brick built baloon, and the photo-editing is nicely done.

This is indeed very nice.
Can I point out that it’s an entry for the “Ages of Steam” competition that’s currently running on the LEGO Steampunk Flickr group?
Still a few weeks to get entries in, and there’s some nice prizes on offer. Come on over and have a looksee…

Isn’t that a Lowell Sphere?

^ Jonesey identified it as a Bram sphere in the comments. I figured he would know the difference. ;-)

The Decemberists reference is apropos, very nice.
