    Went back this year to take some pics @ dawn. Much better weather conditions, in fact, the balloons were airborne before you knew it.

    Jim, sorry I missed you. More pics in my Flickr set.

    The 'crazy' guy who flies on a chair was back...

    Nice shots. Balloon festivals offer such great photo opportunities.

    I was struck by how the photographers outnumber the balloons, in your ground level shots.

    thanks! I think I'm gonna blow that one up.

    Thanks Cliff, yeah, a fellow shooter was surprised the photogs/crowd was allowed on the grounds, he has been to a few where they were kept behind a fence. He actually preferred that as the shots were cleaner.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Very cool series, and I also like #7. I wonder what the guy in the chair does when he encounters trees tops??
