Hot Air Ballooning

According to Wikipedia, the first balloon flight carrying passengers was by brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier in Annonay, France, in 1873. Since then many have enjoyed sightseeing from the quiet, nearly wind-free heights afforded by hot air ballooning. (Banner photo by Daniela Cuevas and small photo by Andre Frueh, both on Unsplash.)
