October marks a month of much excitement around my state. For one week in October, people from all around the world come to the annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, in which hot air balloons descend every morning from Balloon Fiesta Park. It's a beautiful sight, and very exciting for the people who live here and come to see it. At night, there's an event where the balloons are lit up and make like huge lanterns. And there aren't just run-of-the-mill-shaped balloons, there are also some called the Special Shapes, that can be anything from bees to Darth Vader to aliens to carriages.
The balloon fiesta started on Sunday, and yesterday I managed to get some pictures of balloons that came very close to my house. They were beautiful, especially against the bright blue sky that we have often here.
Have any of you ever seen the balloon fiesta up-close and personal? :)
Have a great week!
