The Balloon

Encinitas, CA

A funny thing happened to me on my way to my Photoshop class. I had planned to capture the scene of us doing our photographic workout which is mildly akin to Pete’s yoga classes ;-). However, two minutes away from class this balloon floated right over my head. Of course I had to capture it, and here it is presented as Wednesday’s PaD.

You are decidedly full of HOT AIR here, Robin! LOL! But very nice capture . . how fortunate for you that they were floating overhead at just right time! Beautiful colors. Have you seen Dazed's collection of hot air? I mean balloons? It's quite extensive.

Great capture!

Great image! Love the unique perspective. We have a balloon company that uses the area surrounding our house for takeoffs and landings because of the many wide open fields available. I've been to several "landing parties" over the years. Need to keep my eyes open for their next appearance
