Default Hot Air Balloon Festival

Well, it wasn't very "festive" as far as the balloons were concerned because a slight breeze was too much to launch the balloons, but I did get to photograph one that they "cold filled" for show.

Purple Striped Balloon

Thanks for looking!

Great shot and very colorful. Glad they filled at least one to show.

Nice "cold air" abstract--bold colors and design! Too bad about the wind!

Thanks folks. I cheated a little on the colors--here are the real ones:

Blown up Colors

For some reason the dirt on the side shows up on the real colors. I decided not to photoshop them out because I was lazy and because that is how it really is! (Pretty bad for a guy who changed the colors in the first version he loaded!).
