Cornfield Flyover

I live in a small city but there are patches of rural life remaining here and there. I noticed this cornfield, ripe for the harvest, when driving by and decided to visit at sunrise for some photos. The morning light was lovely, casting a warm glow over the stalks of corn. I was exploring and taking photos when across the sky and into my viewfinder floated this hot air balloon. Such an unexpected surprise! I'm happy to add another image to my hot air balloon series.
