Balloon Out Back

When I first moved to Albuquerque I was frequently found tracking and photographing the balloons during the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

That has tapered off in recent years.  I like sleeping in on the weekends and the balloons go up early.

This morning I heard a balloon around 7:30 AM.  I got up, looked around and didn't see anything.  About 15-20 minutes later, I heard the balloon again.  I walked outside and there, in the park behind the house, was a balloon setting up prior to flight.  My guess is, they decided to avoid the crowds and early hours of the ascension field.


Inflated and almost ready for takeoff.

And, up into the air.

They weren't the only ones looking for later hours and less of a crowd.


Early morning in the Albuquerque metro area during Balloon Fiesta.

  1. You won't find a lack of Rolex replica watches on people in all parts of the Monterey Classic Car Week. Then again, it is a great place for watch spotting of all types. Though yeah, if you are anywhere where cool cars might be Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, or Monterey during Classic Car Week, you'll see a very healthy assortment of Rolex replica watches. It makes me wonder what it would be like for Rolex to make a car. The Swiss have done it before... BlogtoWatch received a note from Rolex replica watches today on the appointment of a new brand CEO. The news release from Rolex replica watches sale was a scant, one line document on official letterhead that explained Jean-Frederic Dufour would be appointed as the CEO of Rolex SA in Geneva. Mr. Dufour would be replacing Gian Riccardo Marini. Many in the watch industry are familiar with Jean-Frederic Dufour as the CEO of Zenith replica watches, a position he will now be leaving.
