Clouds – Photo Challenge Day 3
Okay, honestly, the highlight of this photo isn’t clouds, per-se. This is the smoke trail left by the Space-X Falcon Heavy launch which I took Rylan to see earlier today. Even from 70 miles away it was a really exciting show. I shot at Avalon State Park with my stock Canon T3i and 18-55mm lens.
Balloon over ABQ
Everest
I shot this photo from the window of a Jetstream 41 this morning. The tall peak in the background is the summit.
I thought that taking a scenic flight around Mount Everest might hinder my desire to climb it, yet the attraction has only increased.
I still see an expedition in my future.
Ballooning ABQ
Converts liquid propane into heat energy to give the balloon it’s lift from the trapped hot air
Balloons are first filled with air from a fan
Then comes the fire from the burners
Soon, the balloons start to rise into the air
Just after takeoff
Shortly after takeoff we started to rise into the sky quickly
We came in low over the highways

Looking up into the balloon from inside the basket. It’s very hot in the basket.
Rylan at the 2016 Stuart Airshow
He sure is a little aviator, just like his daddy.
