Full of Hot Air

Recommended Posts

Last weekend was the second annual hot air balloon event at Monument Valley. They were able to launch Friday and Saturday mornings, but it was too windy Sunday. Over a dozen balloons were in the air for about two hours each morning. It must be a nice perspective to float over the valley.

The high winds made for dusty air, which produced a nice late afternoon light for the Three Sisters

Thanks. I think it would be a nice experience to go up in one of the balloons over Monument Valley. Can't think of too many other places that would be so scenic.

Very awesome pics, Doug!

A guy who works for me is actually a Hot Air Balloon pilot. He often flies in this event, but didn't make it this year. He flies in 4-6 events per year, and often comes back with some great pics! ;)

 

Thanks for sharing!
