Field of Fire

The highlight at the Lake Havasu Balloon Festival, for us, was the "Field of Fire". Every night about 7 pm they would park about 20 balloons on the launch field, inflate as if ready for "take off" but the pilots kept them on the ground.


It was a challenge to photograph because the propane jets could only be activated for a few seconds, otherwise the balloon would go into "lift off" mode.


Hope you can enjoy the pictures and maybe attend a balloon festival yourself some day.


No, I didn't turn the picture, it just the way this balloon flies. It's called "Off the Wall"


Remember there were at least 20 of these balloons, sitting in darkness under a starry ski. It was beautiful.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope there is a balloon festival near you.
