 This balloon festival was mostly a disappointment. They only launched 4 balloons and they only flew to the other end of the runway, as the winds were too high. Got some good shots of what there was to see, however, including a sweet B-25 Mitchell at the crack of dawn.


Post-challenge notes:
Cliche eye candy for sure. Pleased with the performance though. Thanks for the good comments and even the not so good ones.

Beautiful! I hope it ribbons.
I wish the warm hues extended all the way instead of the dull color at the very top. Also, the sun shape looks a bit odd instead of a perfect circle?
