Hello and a Happy Weekend to the TL members.

Special Shapes balloon—my favourite…

This is Arky, the Noah’s Ark balloon, very close to being launched. A very popular balloon and a favourite with many. The animals are so neat-they bend and sway in the wind. They are so colourful and dynamic that the balloon just gladdens one heart for sure. Arky certainly gladdens my heart.
A huge cheer goes off when Arky launches. He is an old friend of the Balloon Fiesta and has been coming for years. He is one of the earlier special shape balloons.

In the WS is a front view of Arky and another 2 special shape balloons.

For 2 days the fiesta holds a special shapes Rodeo, where all the special shape balloons are grouped together and launch as a unit. Flying competitions are held and the pilots have chances to win prizes. The special shape and regular balloons have different competitions. The special shapes are quirky fliers and quirky to handle so cannot compete with the regular balloons.

It was dawn and the sun had just popped over the mountain. So half the balloon was in shadow and the other half in the full force of the sun. Technically not great but I wanted to share Arky with you. I hope you enjoy him as much as I did!

I was so busy looking up that I did not notice the tilt to the image. Thank you Michel (mvdisco) for pointing that out.
Joni

What an eye-catching balloon this Noah's Ark is Joni. Aren't the designers they clever?
It looks like there was a wonderful display of balloons at the Fiesta. I'd have loved to have been there.
