Balloon Fiesta – From Sandia Crest

The first weekend of Balloon Fiesta, I went up Sandia Crest in the freezing dawn to photograph the balloons lighting up almost a mile below.

As the sunrise spread up over the mountain, the darkness and shadow of the peak slowly receded, lighting up first the edge of the city and then the balloons. In the morning light, some balloons drop down to “kiss” the Rio Grande before rising back up.

Be well. – SAWK
