Contrails & Special Shapes

Dawn

Today was the special shapes rodeo. I did not see as many special shapes as in years past. Many of them barely rose above the trees and then went back down.

There was a traffic jamb of gondolas trying to get onto the neighbor’s field to launch. A critter balloon. Rising through behind the trees.

All the contrails for the morning jets.

Clouds are best at making special shapes.

Four balloons inflated and launched from our neighbor’s field. Below is a video of the inflating and launching, photos of the burners, photos of the animals watching, and three new balloons.

Today is Laurie’s birthday and the second day of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta with a mass ascension.

Jake came out for Laurie’s birthday.

One of the helium balloons taking off last night.
X marked the spot.

There were a lot of nice high clouds this morning.

The native flyers. The pTerodactyl stopped to watch the balloons for a few minutes, also.
