These people had just landed in their own hot air balloon and as they waited for the car to arrive they watched many others popping up over the horizon and drifting towards them. The setting sun was still quite bright and I liked the way it silhouetted the scene and cast a golden glow.
Throughout the July 4th weekend hot-air balloonists from all over the country converged on our region to float en masse above the Hudson River.
The launches take off from the banks of the Hudson River soon after sunrise and before sunset.
Thank you for your comments,

Went on a fabulous omnibus photo walk/drive Sunday with karenmeyere and DaveP_MN. Had a blast shooting all kinds of different things. It was a magical day.
To show how magical; we were standing near Dave's house while he told us how they sometimes launch balloons from a nearby farm ... when suddenly he shouted, "Balloons are launching!" We all made a pell-mell dash across the highway and into the back field of the farm, where, sure enough, three gigantic baloons were on the verge of lifting off.
I've never seen hot air balloons up close before. They're gigantic! It's a real task to try to capture the sheer size of them, and we didn't have much time as they lifted off pretty soon after we arrived. But it sure was fun trying.
Much of the day was like this. Wherever we went we saw something cool. More to come!

Cappadocia is known around the world as one of the best places to fly with hot air balloons. The spectacular surrealistic landscapes combined with excellent flying conditions allow the balloons to gently drift over and between fairy chimneys, pigeon houses hewn into the unique rock formations, orchards and vineyards – through impressive valleys, each with distinctive rock formations, colors and features – and then float up over rippled ravines for breathtaking views over the region.
I wasn't very pleased with the glow this year, they had way to many stadium lights on to be able to see the balloons glow nicely. This is the best glow show I could get compared to the nice ones last year.

At sunrise in Myanmar there are always 20 to 30 hot air balloons launched over the 4000 or so Pagodas in Old Bagan. It really is a beautiful sight to see. The price of actually going in one of those balloons was £250 which was a little rich for my blood, especially as climbing to the top of a pagoda and watching it was free.

Letting Go... Sometimes, it's like releasing a balloon into the vast sky. We cling on, afraid of losing what we know, but in letting it go, we allow it to find its own path. Similarly, when we release people and situations we can no longer control, we grant them the freedom to discover their own destiny. It's an act of self-love and trust in life's natural flow. Though it may hurt at first, in letting go, we allow what truly belongs to us to stay close, while making room for new experiences and connections that enrich our journey.
Unidentified flying object. If you are a bird, this is exactly what it is. Their reaction is to dive into the foliage and sit there quietly until the threat has gone away, in just the same manner as they do when a wedge-tailed eagle is circling above.

The framing program at the festival "Flammende Sterne" 2007 in Ostfildern was also nice, e.g. the glowing hot air balloons. This glowing presentation shortened the waiting time till the spectacular fireworks.
