 Taken at the 40th Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Festival. A lifetime experience. It was in the 30's and I froze my giblets off. The previous day had been rained out so we decided to brave the cold. This was the dawn patrol, the guys who go up in the dark to let the rest of the 600+ balloonist know the wind conditions, and whether or not they will launch. There were three of them, this was on the only pink one.

On vacation with my laptop and not my regular software. Obscene ISO with resulting noise, which I could not quite time. Hope it's good enough.
