Some like it hot

Luxor, Egypt

The balloon had such nice green tones and interesting pattern, that I decided to take this shot.
At the same time the pilot decided he wanted to take the balloon higher, hence the great big flame.
How hot is this shot? Let's just say that the camera and lens felt quite hot in my hands for the next few minutes,
and I was sure I'd damaged something. I was wrong, and all's well that ends well.

Great shot!
I also had the pleasure to fly a balloon over Luxor.
