Hot Air Balloons

Hot air balloons have always fascinated me. My dream is to take a ride in one someday. I am impressed by their innovation, beauty and grace. Watching them gives me a peaceful feeling inside. Here are some photos that I took at a balloon festival that I enjoy attending each year out in Howell, Michigan. I have hundreds of photos of hot air balloons because they all have such unique qualities. They are works of art! Each one is an expression of it's owner/pilot and you can see that they take great pride in these awesome vehicles. It must be an unbelievable view from up there.
