party in the sky
I got up at 3am to drive from Seattle to Prosser in eastern WA. Still debating whether or not it was worth it. It was pretty cool to see the 31 balloons launch at sunrise over the Yakima river. I will be offline for a few weeks on a road trip to Banff and Jasper. Thanks for checking out the photo and saying hi.

whoa! that's my kind of party.... always wanted to go up in one of these things! I used to live in Snohomish, WA and always saw them floating around the valley.

Wonderful colors. Didn't know this was going on in eastern Washington. It is quite a drive.
Shanti Photography - Peace Through Lens (44 months ago | reply)
I totally envy you. This is terrific shot. And congrats on Explore.
I went last Saturday to Bluegrass Balloon Festival driving almost 3hrs for nothing. The weather was one of the worst, so they didn't get many balloons and eve with few in the air it was horrible on that dark cloudy background. I got few glows very well though.
