A mastery of atmosphere, which seems so unreal as if in a dream. It would be hard for me to even imagine such beautiful view... Thank you for sharing. It must have been an unforgettable experience?

It's so simple yet eye pleasing and almost looks like layers overlaping. makes for a great desktop.

Alright, alright ... I will petition Caedes to add another folder available for favourites, specifically named "Chip's Stuff."

Not my choice of names, but, appropriate. :P

This is one glorious shot. The descriptors that come to my mind, are 'heavenly' in nature.

My word ... this is breathtaking!!

I really can't comprehend this one fully. The reflected light? Off of the lake that you mention? Add to that, the reflected light on the low lying cloud formations is surreal. I am torn between trying to make physical sense of this and just enjoying it ... what a great quandary for my mind. :))

I really love the atmospherics and arial perspective. The balloon adds just the right element to ground the entire image.

Makes me wish I were there.

Another excellent capture. I really need to get up in your area and leave the confinements of anahiem. The ballons and wineries are so nice around there.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

Another wonderful balloon capture. Maybe we should create a 'Photography->Balloons' gallery...
Congrats, Chip :-)

Outstanding shot.

At first I didn't care for the heavy border, but after contemplation, the letterbox format was really the only choice. Superb.

Some people are like slinkies, not good for anything but will give you a good laugh when you push them down the stairs. :)
