Always an amazing color show - nice selection of balloons.

The vertical orientation of the composition fits the way the balloons are positioned in the sky.

I am so jealous Larry! I want to go there so bad, but always miss it due to bad weather or bad timing with fall colors.

Thanks Jameel the balloons just aligned themselves to favor a portrait conformation and I got lucky enough to shot that way!

Hi Jim we had 2 days of shooting a few years ago. The second day was delayed because of winds in the morning that cleared up about 9:30 and the balloons took off in a blaze of color!

That sounds so cool! I really need to get there. I almost made it this year as the launch week was earlier then normal, but still couldn't get away because of family obligations this time.
