December morning flight over Temecula, lone balloon with Vail Lake in the background. My brother, daughter and I were in the California Dreamin Balloon shown in "Balloon Invasion"
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?
Hey! Michigan isn't that bad :D Although, winter is my favorite season...idk, I'm just weird like that :) Anyways, this view is amazing! The lighting, colors, composition...everything about it is beautiful. So serene and calming...excellent job :)

wow very nice tones, and really high contrast but it works spectacularly, my fav part is the golden ring around the baloon. what a great time to have a camera
This is one heck of a shot that I would love to keep on my desktop and watch over and over again. You have become the official balloon man at Caedes Chip.
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. :))
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.
what a wonderful title for a wonderful work of art; i love the emotions captured in this photo; the yellow tone in the sky with the dark ballon figure give it just the right amount of cozy solitude
How lovely it is when unexpected blessings come into my life to cheer me up and put a smile into my heart. Help me to pass them on, dear Lord. Fay Angus
