Saw this on Flickr...

Apparently the largest mass ascent of hot air balloon in, well, a long time.

Link to the group and the pool pics are at the bottom of the page.


I think hot air balloons are really cool!

 

Saw that as well, looks like a great time!

There's one in Colorado Springs Labor Day weekend. I have thought about going to it. They have a local one, I went to last year, nowhere as big, but some out my pictures here

oh...those kind of balloons...

 

Cool shots!

I just missed a big one in New Jersey while I was there.

I need to make it out to New Mexico some time for their huge festival.

 

 

that first pic in the link is incredible.
jupiter, your nightshots are beutiful. the colour contrast is so vibrant.

 

I think it's in October


Thanks

 

I will take that as my swift kick in the pants. Alternately, you could simply ask me how long of a drive it would be for me to get there...

 

It's a nine day festival... 3-11 October 2009
