I’m a hot air balloon enthusiast. I’ve crewed and flown out of Albuquerque’s International Balloon Fiesta that happens the first two weekends of October. Erie Colorado has a much smaller ballooning event every May. This image is from 2017 and is looking back at the field we had just launched from.

And I’m not sure if video is acceptable in #BlueSkyArtShow, but here’s that beautiful spinning landing in the river with a reflection. Flying like this is definitely performance art!

And finally, a reflection of our latest Flying Fractal, Fibonacci, reflected over a mirror-calm lake in Austria. #BlueSkyArtShow

What’s up? Hot Air Balloons are up every October at the Albuquerque international Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. Here’s an image from 10 years ago, October 4, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “My god, it’s full of Balloons” (2001 Space Odyssey ~ Alternate ending) 🎈

This morning in Corrales.

A frequent sight and sound.

Rode hot air balloons over Teotihuacán with my wife yesterday

Blue and white hot air balloon, featuring snowmen, lifting off with burner aflame.

Two multi coloured hot air balloons partially inflated in the foreground, with two ascending in the blue sky.

Six multi coloured hot air balloons in a blue sky at various heights departing the showground.

A night time display of fully inflated but grounded hot air balloons glowing shades of red, orange and brown from their burners.

Come fly with me? Time for an uplifting colourful balloon display. Taken on a day out to the Devon Balloon Festival near Tiverton. Great fun.

Colorful hot air balloons

Went to the hot air balloon festival in Arizona today!

Hot air balloons are so whimsical, and it felt good to get offline and be outside for a few hours.
