How to Spend a Sunday Morning

Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, CA

We watched these balloonists lay out and fill their ballons, and then take off. It was a wonderful sight to see and be
able to shoot a few pics, before they sailed south with the prevailing winds. Seems like a great way to spend a Sunday.

Great shot, Sandi! I give those guys credit. Such a sharp contrast of the balloon over the sharp rocks. Nice capture.
Marisa Livet15-Jul-2008 15:39
Fantastic, there is an unreal feeling in this ballon appearing over the rocks, besides that the photo is taken in your usual so accurate way, which I deeply appreciate.
