- Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.

I'd love to see this someday.
ReplyDeletefantastic pictureas. Great!
ReplyDeleteI love watching hot air balloons! The Darth Vader and Yoda balloons were great!
ReplyDeleteThose Star Wars balloons are terrific. Not seen those before. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun shots - love the Darth Vader and Yoda balloons1
ReplyDeleteGreat series, very well captured!
ReplyDeleteso, so, so cool! would love to see this someday.
ReplyDeleteWowza! It is so exciting to see Hot Air Balloons. These were such fun shots. Have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! We have a balloon festival here the weekend after next, I am looking forward to going out with my camera. A few Christmases ago (slightly off topic) I went into town and walked round a corner to come face to face with Darth Vader. The council had hired someone to wear a costume and he was outside the comic shop entertaining the children. It literally stopped me in my tracks. Before my mind had time to register that this was actually a fictitious character and also a man in a suit my instincts told me to turn back. My reaction amused me greatly. I saw the original films as a child and the impact he had has clearly stayed in my mind on some level. I did however turn back and go the other way :0)
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting CO Springs hosts a balloon fest. Once upon a time, we had balloons here, too, but the high altitude apparently wasn't conducive for getting them high enough.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhimsical and very creative balloons! Great photos Al.
ReplyDeleteAwesome ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing pictures, Al! The hot-air balloon festival in Colorado sounds just great! Wish I could to be there...
