Toaster Town at Balloon Fiesta Park. Action will be to the right, we're in the first row on the right, trust me. |
The first night, many of us out-of-towners camped just outside of Alb. |
There were so many we had to break into two groups to make the drive from the meeting point to the park. |
This thing starts EARLY. Like, before sunrise. |
That early and booths are cranking, people all over the place. |
It's total mayhem on the field: people are allowed to wander all over the place as teams try to, ah, inflate, I guess. |
One of the ground crew team members. As you can see I don't know the proper lingo, but that's why this man is dressed so zebra-like. |
I'd say she was the hit of the show. |
No, my lens isn't dirty; those are all balloons up there. |
It was not without mishaps: I caught several shots of a failing balloon. |
Here's the pilot being taken off the field. |
Ah, hello Eyewitness News, behind you, balloon landing in traffic... hello? over here... |
Meanwhile, back at camp. This was our last morning there, guess the winds shifted. |
Hello Kitty. |
Great balloon to have land on your big 'spensive RV. Well, almost. |
This is just here cuz it's so cool looking. This was parked at the first night campground. |
