In a previous post about the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta I posted photos of balloons preparing to launch. The officials decided that the winds were calm enough for the launch, and the spectators watched as balloons rose into the beautiful blue sky. I have been taking photos at the Balloon Fiesta for years, and this year I decided to concentrate on photographing individual balloons.

Here is a short view of the mass ascension:
What a spectacle! Love all those vibrant colours, against that gorgeous blue sky!
I had a big smile on my face while scrolling down this page. Wonderfully colorful images! The balloons are especially beautiful against the deep blue sky. What a fun event that must have been. Fabulous series, Linda! I remember delighting in your balloon images last year. Great job!
Thanks Lisa and Julie. I absolutely love the Balloon Fiesta!
Fantastic!! I love those shots of the beautiful balloons!!
