GLOWING, COLORFUL BAGS OF HOT AIR

If you look elsewhere on the blog you will find some photos of last year's hot air balloon event in Angola.  There was another one yesterday.  I was at the airport at 7:00 a.m. and then Sue and I went last night for the balloon "glowing".  Some of the participating balloons were given just enough hot air to be inflated and then the gas jets illuminated them in the darkening evening to make them glow like huge Japanese lanterns.  These shots are all from the evening event.  There was a huge crowd there - it seems funny that all of us were there to watch bags of hot air.  I have seen some trials that were like that.  You can click on each photo to see it larger.
