Fiery Balloons

For this week's My World Tuesday post, here are the last of my photos from the Balloon Glow at the Colorado Balloon Classic. The first is a close-up of where the fire comes out, the second is looking up into a balloon with the flame.

    Awesome captures as always, Al! I do love the balloons, as I've told you before, but this is seeing them from a different perspective and they're superb! Hope your week is off to a good start! Enjoy!

    Questa foto sicuramente rappresenta l'accensione di una mongolfiera, vista all'interno della stessa !
    Giusto ?
    Ciao :)

    Oh, Al, I can always count on you for great photos. By the way, have you ever seen the children's picture book, Hot Air Henry, about a Siamese cat who accidentally takes off alone in a hot air balloon? The illustrator, Erick Ingraham, shows the balloons from every possible angle. You really should check it out (says the children's librarian, ret.).

    I sure do miss the balloon glows we used to go to in Colorado Springs. Sigh. These gorgeous shots bring back so many good memories!

    I LOVE balloon festivals! Your captures are gorgeous! I went to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta a few weeks ago...sensational! Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative at night for the balloon glows when I was there. But, I have been to them at other places so I wasn't too devastated. Your post is super!

    It looks like it is very hot from your photo. I know in Australia, they start off at 6 am, because a 3 hour ride can become stuff and hot.

    Amazing pictures, Al!
    The balloon festivals sounds great.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and nice comment.
    Flora also gets so excited when she knows she's going for a walk.
