OK...It's 6:30 in the morning, time to get high. Today is media day for the Balloon and Wine Festival where a few balloons go up taking reporters and photographers. Tomorrow the festival grounds will be pack with people and the air will be filled with hot air balloons. You can see the shadow of the balloon I'm in. It's shaped like a champagne bottle. EDIT: Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival. I think they have a Balloon and Wine festival up by Napa somewhere too.

A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.

Wow! Great shot! It reminds me of a picture you'd see made into a puzzle.

What a cool picture. How did you get a ride in a balloon? I have always wanted to do that. Great capture.

What a great perspective to see these balloons form Chip! I love hot air balloons and your images have always been a source of eye-candy to me.
I imagine it was great to be up in the balloon so early in the morning....great time to be shooting!
Was this just an informative 'tour' type ride prior to the Festival or more of a 'hare vs hound' race?
Thanks for sharing your fun with me :=)

I just had to save this one..there are so many interesting balloons, and your scope up there in the one that you're riding in is just fantastic.

Great job.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Always a pleasure to view your images from the balloon festivals Chip.

Really nice work here.

"Vista" being the most operative word and descriptor.

Creates a bit of an optical illusion to my eyes. Your photo almost appears to be square. Cool stuff.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

Hi CHip! Wow, that must have been a most wonderful way to start a day!! Not only to take these gorgeous photos, but to be IN one of the balloons...how fortunate you were! I love this photo. I was in a balloon just once, and it remained on a rope, which they let go up pretty darned high..it was for us little beginners so we wouldn't freak out totally! lol..I love how you got the water and the sky in such a gorgeous bloo colours..thanx for a great desktop to make me dream by..verena

A great shot Chip and I love your vantage point. I hope you didn't drink all the champagne in the balloon. :)
I was stationed at March Air Force Base and then stayed out there for several years, living in Riverside. I was familiar with the area at one time but I am sure I wouldn't recognize it now.
