Balloon Festival 2011 was last weekend. Although nearly all the launches were cancelled due to lousy weather, Saturday night’s liftoff was glorious. I was unable to go to the airport with the family because of the walking involved, so instead I went out to a little known spot to view the liftoff from the comfort of my car. The sky put on a better show than the balloons did! Here are a few shots.
A Half Hour a Day 
Couldn’t hope for a prettier sky for this! Love the one with the sundog.
I like the first shot – nice and beautiful sky with a balloon silhouette – very fine image. Have you tries flying a balloon before? Or are you dreamining like me? 😉
Magical!
