Description

Todays collage is from the Balloon Fest in Taos, New Mexico. This was my first balloon fest and it was awesome. When I arrived in Taos, I wanted to find the field that the balloons would take off from. After driving around a bit I decided to go to the hotel where I was staying and ask for the location. As it turned out, the Balloon fest was being held directly out back from the hotel. Was I lucky or what. The next Morning,got up walked out the door to the field and shot the most amazing sight. these mamoth balloons were going up all over the place. You have to be there to experience the atmosphere of the place..These photos don't do it any justice. By the way, there was no photomaniping on Saturdays pic.Click here to see. The balloons and the moon were as you saw them. The first pic shows the filling of the balloon with hot air. Those people were only about two feet from the flame. I was about 15 feet from it and felt the heat. The second was this neat balloon. As it was blowing up, it looked like it was going to attack the other balloons. Third pic is a sky full of balloons. The last pic is me and my fairy loving wife ..LOL ENJOY TODAY
