Description
Third in a series captured on film October 1988 at the Hot Air Balloon Festival, held annually in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico.
See my February 24, 2009 posting of No. 1 for more details on my trip.
This photo would not have been possible without the background cloud effect. I had originally intended to reduce the contrast and brighten up the image, but, after some deep consideration, I just left it as it was.
Thankx for the visit, and may this be the onset of a wonderful week.

I bet that was a great thing to see :) Nice work.
Nice shot! That is my next place to visit Harry!
Love the grain a lot, add so much mood to this morning shot. The clouds give a nice background to the baloons as well.
very nice shot...
the glowing clouds have a sort of post-apocalyptic feel...great shot! Do you have any where you were hanging off the bottom of the balloon? Just checking... :)
What a great place to fly a hot air balloon. These type of conditions are among the more difficult for photography. Like the way the four balloons are silouetted against the clouds. Glad you are able to resurrect these older photos.
These have a dreamy, almost surreal look--another great shot!!
Be in freedom flying in the neverending sky, beaatiful perspective and movement inpression!!! Great work!!! :)
