Default Hot air ballooning over Kapadokya in Turkey

Hot air ballooning over Kapadokya in Turkey

I don't usually like to be up before dawn, but in this instance it was well worth it. I think I took more than 300 shots during the balloon ride. I took this one by leaning out of the basket when we were floating directly above another balloon.

Amazing capture! If that doesn't make one want to go ballooning, nothing will.

LOL. I wasn't tied to anything, but I managed not to fall out.

Thanks for the kind comments everybody. I will try to put up another shot tomorrow.

Impressive, both in terms of the photo and your willingness to go to any length to get that shot!

That's a unique photo. One to be proud of, for sure.
