here's a couple more from the Balloon Regatta

OK, four more. We went on Friday and Saturday morning. Friday was a bit overcast, especially in the early morning.

Inflating the canopy and checking the lines. I want to composite an electric guitar into this guy's hands!



A few balloons shortly after takeoff. More neck cracking.



A neat transportation juxtaposition.



Fire it up! Fire it up!

Love the contrail on the third one, between the two balloons. Great juxtaposition!

Thanks so much for sharing these!
