[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a scanned photograph of hot-air balloons ascending in groups as others on the ground are being inflated during the 1999 International Baloon Fiesta held yearly the first week of October in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This was taken from a hot-ait balloon as it floated up and away from the Balloon Fiesta Park.

This year I crewed for the Yellow freight company. That meant helping unpack, unroll and inflate the balloon, then following the balloon all over town until they found a place to land in someone's backyard. There were 2 other balloons landing in the backyard: Diet Pepsi and a local business. When we got there the residents offered everyone breakfast burritos and drinks.

Hello JC Ramos!
Beautiful colors and panorama!
Do you live in Albuquerque?
I would love to see new pictures of ABQ.
I lived there in (1970-1971 ) as an exchange student and I´m curious to see images from ABQ.
Brazilian greetings,
Nivaldo.
