Balloon Glow

Every July 3rd our Coney Island does a hot air balloon glow followed by fireworks. It is one of my favorite things to do. The guys that own the balloons love them and the chance to talk about them. They also like to show off, like this guy, by turning up the heat. It is really a good thing that we got to go yesterday as it has been raining all day with no sign of stopping.

Great to be able to see it like this with all its colour! I can never work out why the material doesn't burn!

Looks sensational, I am a wee bit envious - I would love to watch a balloon glow. (Not for the want of trying - just missed out due to various reasons)

[MaryBeth Dailey]

HOT! Is that one in the background marked with one of those "scannable bar code squares?" Haha That is cool.
