Balloon Fiesta

This week, we will have hundreds of hot air balloons in the sky, and all at the same time.  I made this photo, yesterday, from the side of the road, as the blue/white balloon was about to land.

There is also an international GAS balloon race, that has been going on since last Saturday.  The gas balloons all started at the same time, and which ever balloon team travels the farthest distance, wins.  A team from Poland, piloted by a fellow from my neighborhood, is in second place (team number 4).  Here is a link to follow:
