UP UP AND AWAY!!!!!

Tuesday, September 9, 2008













This past weekend I woke the family at the unpopular time of 2:30 am to make sure we arrived on time for the start of the annual Great Reno Balloon Race. Our arrival was timed perfect for the start of the "Glow Show". As you can see from the pic some of the balloons fired up to give a great Glowing show. These balloons took off into the dark night (early, very early morning) sky. A spectacular sight. When dawn broke the remaining balloons took off in mass Ascension and over 100 balloons filled the sky.

Amazing sight that must have been. A bit early but from the pictures well worth the effort.

We had a gift one Christmas for a balloon ride. Neither of us agreed to do it.

I hope to make it to this event next year or to the one in New Mexico. You got some nice shots, but makes for a long day.
