Photographers had a field day at the Forest Park Balloon Race burning on friday night 9-17-2004.Every few minutes a horn would sound and the pilots and crews would burn up the engines together giving everyone a visual treat.
Excellent shot, Joseph. I glanced at the thumbnail and had to check it out. Too bad the balloons have corporate logos, but it's quite amazing to see them all lit.
Thanks Jacqueline and Michael.They makes quite a large advertising sign.Sadly there probably would'nt be as many without the corprate sponsership Michael.

An energizer bunny? I remember when the billboards weren't there. Irregardless, you found the perfect spot, set up across the water. I see a lot of cameras set up just underneath, they didn't get half as impressive a shot.
Thanks Dan,Joost and Dreamer.Thanks guys it was a filming frenzy with tripods and cameras in almost evry hand.As we walked away there was a finger of the lake behind where this shot was taken with some great reflection.I went to shoot and was out of battery.Good lesson to either bring my other camera or extra battery next time.
