f1.8, ISO 200, 1/80, 50mm lens, Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Launch, Village Fest, Kannapolis, NC.

I loved the colors & the designs of the balloons!
The thought of enjoying an early morning flight over the area just as the sun was rising very much appealed to me. I think it would be really peaceful & give you a brand new POV of the world around you!

Gorgeous color captured here Michelle. Great perspective as well. I've always thought it would be fun to do a hot air balloon ride but I'm scared to death of heights.

  Thank you Marcie!

I've flown in a helicopter with the doors off & that was great! But there's just something about the hot air balloon I always wanted to find out what it was like.

As long as I don't feel like I'm going to fall I'm not afraid of heights.

I used to rock climb & I had a pretty wicked fall. (Blessed to still be here.) After that I was afraid of heights. Before that, I pretty much thought I was invincible & wasn't scared of heights.
Funny how things change!

Thanks for the comment!

  There is certainly a sense of adventure and romance in Ballooning that gets my attention EVERY time that I see one of these magnificent balloons crossing the sky. Thanks for the crisp and colorful reminder!

  Way to fill the frame with wonderful color and detail, Michelle. I'm with Corinne and Datha, though.

  Beautiful Michelle! I've never done this, but my Mom has and loved it. Between my fear of heights, and my tiny bladder - I think I'd be too afraid - LOL!
