As mentioned previously, this has to be one of the greatest mass ascensions this festival's had in a long time. As you can see balloons are rapidly being filled up and prepped to go not long after the go-ahead is given.

Here is another balloon, one of many, being fed with flames mixed with air from propane tanks as extremely well organized teams abound throughout the field.

The air is heavy with the anticipation and excitement as many of us watch on.

The colors here are really something.

Anybody in the mood for a can of pepsi? There's one of our fave balloons hidden behind the AT&T Hot Air Balloon.
