Our city had a hot air balloon festival on Saturday. I figured since my son has a near obsession with helium balloons, that he would just loose his mind over the hot air variety. For the most part he did except when they'd shoot the fire into the ballon, then he'd wrap his legs as tightly around my waist as possible and bury his face in my shoulder.
In the evening they had a "balloon glow" where they'd put up the ballons and the fire would light them up. It was really cool. I took lots of pictures from both the morning lift off and the evening glow, but for some reason, this is my favorite.
I love how the fire is illuminating all the people gather below--awesome shot!

We have a balloonfest here in the fall. This gets me excited for the photo ops. Beautiful shot.

Oh wow, that is awesome! I love how the flame makes the balloon glow, and illuminates the people below. What a special time with your son.

Different people in all countries take the mortgage loans in various creditors, because it is simple and comfortable.
