“Inflating”

Here is another colorful shot from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

One of the fun things at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is the ability to get up really close to the balloons and sometimes inside while they are inflating. This image shows the scale of this balloon with the person in the back, or others’ shadows on the side of the balloon.

Peaking inside while they are still using the fans to inflate before lighting the burner is the best way to see the wonderful colors of these huge balloons.
