You wouldn't catch me dead in one of those things! I hate heights...haha, but nice picture. I'm assuming you took this atop a bridge?

Good shot. Queechee Gorge looks surreal in that early morning fog/mist. Balloon rides are lots of fun. I'd love to do one in VT.

Geat capture - really like the mists they add so much to the shot.

Very nice shot, the vibrant colours of the balloon against the muted, misty background is excellent.
