These guys were fighting a sudden breeze to keep the balloon steady while it was inflating and lots of people were standing around - some (like me) taking pictures...

I've never been to such an event, but it looks like fun. I love the energy in this pic, which comes not only from the stuggle with the balloon, but also from the colour and packed crowd.

We went to our first one this last forth of july. The wind was up and they couldn't launch but they kept blowing the balloons up just in case. It made for good photography but not so much fun for everyone else.

Balloon festivals are so much fun. I went to two last year for the first time. It surprised me how fast paced everything is. You just don't have much time to get in position and get the shots that you want. But it's a ton of fun.

Nicely done. Having gone to my first balloon fest this year, I can appreciate the sheer "buzz" of the crowd here. I bet Albuquerque was awesome.
