Where were you when you took this? Up in a balloon as well? I hope no one is landing down there.

Jim wrote "Amazing" ... I agree. Pat asked "where were you" ... I wonder as well. PJ wrote "great shadows" ... she's got that right. Sure made this comment easy for me. Thanks guys and gals and Thank you Jen for posting this wonderful shot.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

This image satisfies fully my refined artistic taste [it may not be my strikingly apparent feature though LOL...] and some adventure-seeking as well as researcher's hunger for ancient treasures !!! LOL
Jen, dearest friend, this is simply stunning amazement of an image !!!

Very nice picture. I gotta wonder too, if you were in a balloon or helicopter. Or maybe you got flying powers like in Heroes? ;)

And they accuse me of being full of Hot Air! What a great shot of the two below you. I never see a balloon that I don't think of "Around the World in Eight Days." The original with David Niven and I think Cantinflas. Is this dedicated to Fogz. I like the colors of balloons (now) versus color of ground (past). Very good Jeenie.

And I thought you were a bird! lol Just kidding. This is wonderful, Jen. I really love the shadows cast by the balloons on the ancient landscape. The lighting is super. The sun must have been really low because those shadows are extremely long.
A totally amazing scene. I envy you your travels! lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Amongst ancient ruins? On the contrary, that's an EXCELLENT place for a landing...just so long as you're not disturbing anything structural! (LOL) Nice post!

Stunning balloon shot. Is that over some of the mortuary temples near the Valley of the Kings?

Cheers! Ray.

I imagine you had one hell of a perspective to be looking down on a balloon in mid-air. Great, clear capture. One minor thing for me, is the tree(s) in the lower left corner. Do you suppose the shot would have a cleaner feel to it without them?
