Parkland full of people and horses racing in front of trees and a large building, all watching the spectacle in the sky; on the left, a large hot air balloon, attached to four smaller balloons with flags and decorations, with one passenger in the basket below waving a flag. Underneath this four parachutists are descending in the air. 
In the sky on the right is an elephant.]]
