"Glow"
|
Two balloons in the early morning sky over Reno. It was really hard to capture both of them firing off at the same time. Each propane blast only lasted about 5 seconds. And there was no pattern or coordination whatsoever. Plus my camera was handheld. I feel lucky to get this not so crisp shot.

Floating over the city lights

One last glow before daylight

Sunrise

I love this shot
|
Sunrise over Reno, city that seldom sleeps
|
The same 2 balloons that were "glowing" now just float in the early morning light
|
The "hatch" begins
|
They just kept coming and coming
|
The Energizer Bunny was humongous!!
|
You can really see the perspective of how big the bunny really was. That teeny little thing underneath it is the basket that held the people who were ballooneering, or whatever it's called!
|
The sun finally breaks over the mountains
|
The bunny, again, dwarfing the "normal" balloons
|
Another view
|
Can you tell I was fascinated by the bunny?
|
Balloons over Reno. Pretty cool thing to experience. Next year we want to be on the ground in the park where they actually launch.
