  1. Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, 2018. Caught a kid mid-laugh just as the balloon behind him made the exact same face. Pure joy, in stereo.

  3. Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. The burner fires and the whole envelope lights up — safari sunset glowing against a grey dawn sky. Then it fades back to dark.

    Glad you’re here to share the moment.

  5. Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Mass ascension — every direction you point the lens, another cluster of color fills the frame.

    Nature always has another story waiting.

  7. Balloon glow at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta with my son, 2018. The burners fire and the whole envelope becomes a lantern for a few seconds.

    Scenes like this stay with you long after the trip ends.

  9. Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, 2018. Got in close during inflation and the overlapping envelopes turned into something almost abstract.

    The closer you look, the more there is to see.

  11. i survived (barely) the hour-long, 5:00AM (!!) bike ride to the #albuquerque international #balloon fiesta this morning. *totally* worth it. weather was great and the mass ascension was amazing as always.

    i was a little worried of getting up that early and biking that far -- then having it cancelled. (wind canceled it yesterday! but luckily i didnt go.) but all was good, green flag raised.

  16. Can see 17 balloons so far. Wind direction not quite as good as expected. Balloons seem to be heading over Southville.
    I would take a Picture but I'm facing straight into the sun.

  17. A quieter moment from the 2018 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta — as crews prep for launch, there’s an art to the setup that rarely gets seen.
    Follow for more glimpses behind the scenes, and feel free to share with anyone who loves ballooning.

    From last Saturday over my neighborhood. This is a single exposure, not a composite—I was luckily able to catch the balloons in this configuration. I've no idea if the caption matches the official balloon names (yes, balloons have names.)

  23. Here are a few fun photos from today’s mass ascension at the 52nd annual International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

    Albuquerque’s Host City balloon

    Hundreds and hundreds of traditional, racing, and special shape hot air balloons took flight this morning as part of this magical event.  The 2024 edition, which started back on October 5th continues through this Sunday, October 13th.

    Peace to all!

    Dr. Frankenstein, I presume. HOT temper balloon 🔥 – no propane needed! “Well buck my teeth and call me ‘Beaver!'” Me eats wabbits! “Only you, can prevent wildfires! “ Elvis is IN the building! Froggy gone courtin’. Skyglow Preparing to fly… Lobos rising! Cornucopia of colors “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” — Yoda (rather timely quote in 2024) Colorful Colorado on my mind Rocky Mountain HIGH!
