Blue Sky Ride

I had just arrived home and was in process of closing the garage door when I spotted this sailing by. If you look closely, you can see one of the riders pointing something out to the others.

Brilliant, love the colours. They look a bit cramped in there, not my idea of fun.

[Lin]

@debbie3108 I agree, Debbie. I've had friends go up in one, but I'm not convinced it's for me.

[Cally]

It is wonderful bring in one. I bought my OH a ride & they had space for me. Been over Australia in one too which was amazing. This is a lovely clear capture.

[Tremerryn]

A super, clear capture - love those colours.

[Lin]

@callymazoo Wow, I can only image how great it was to ride in Australia - one of my friends took a ride during her trip to Africa - amazing captures!

[Lin]

@tremerryn Thanks so much...I was lucky to spot it!

[👑 AnaZad]

Oh how beautiful and colorful capture.

[Carole Imes]

FAV! What a very special sight to see....fabulous capture.

[Lin]

@anazad511 Thanks so much for view and comment!

[Lin]

@cimes1 Thanks so much for the fav, Carole!

I didn't consider a balloon ride scary at all. It was somewhat like being on an elevator. For photographers, you can get a POV unlike any you've ever had, so I recommend it. Where I live, Albuquerque, balloons are a big thing.

such a bright cheery pic! love it

[Kay Hodges]

Lovely shot

[Linda]

Gorgeous colours and how cool to see it that close up. Makes me want to be in there with them.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I'm not at all suggesting your all hot air Lin, but you seem to have captured it here. A very cheerful view to brighten anyone's day.

[Lin]

@cejaanderson I have considered it, Jane. I think I would try a tethered ride first, just to see how bad my fear of heights really is!

[Lin]

Beautiful capture! !

[Heather Mitchell]

Lovely, such bold colors! The people in the basket give a great sense of scale, you can really tell how huge the balloon is!

[Kim]

Love the sharp, vibrant colors. Great composition!

[Nita]

Wonderful capture, I can see the pointer in large view too. This looks like so much fun.

[Carys]

Amazing shot!! Such a lucky find Lin :)

[Peggy Sirk]

Wow! That was an opportune photo op! Brilliant colors in this beautiful balloon.

[Lin]

[Hazel]

Well spotted. I love getting shots of hot air balloons - but I think I'd pass on a ride in one. Good capture.

[Lin]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks, Hazel...and I agree...still a bit afraid to try it myself.

[Bill Fenske]
