Gosh I would like to have been there, in a basket would even be better. There are at least 30 or more in this shot. So colorful this is some fantastic shooting Gina #1402486Michelle Alton August 20, 2011
I agree completely with Ron. I've avoided balloon festivals because I thought it was impossible to get a shot that hasn't been shot a million times. You've proven me wrong with this one! Just endless balloon from here to eternity. #9617329Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 21, 2011
