Photography->Balloons
5 balloons go up each year just before dawn. They give continuous burns and what they call twinkle burns, where the pilots give the burners short bursts of propane.These 5 pilots were from the California area. 3 men and 2 women. FAA rules have the pilots hang a blinking light 15 feet below the basket. It's a grand site when the balloons get airbourne and the five blinking lights turn into lit-up envelopes of color in the pre-dawn sky.All balloons are followed by their chase crews who are in radio contact with the pilot.

"Acknowledge yourself for how far you have come, instead of how far you think you have to go." I'm always happy to see you at My Gallery. I appreciate all of you. Thanks, Anita
I have seen something similar to this and it's truly an amazing site to see. You've captured this shot really well and I love the contrasting colors and darkness. Another really amazing view Bill, thanks so much.

SORRY I AM INFREQUENT VIEWING/COMMENTING!
I have many things going on that are keeping me off the pc...
There is NO way it can get any better than this Dan. The balloons just seem to glow and are showing off their beautiful colors against the night sky. Right into my favs. Thanks also for the explanation of how things are done during this.
