NewMexiKen attended the Balloon Fiesta but took no photos. Alas. (For the record, at the Special Shapes Glow I’d forgotten my glasses and had to view the balloons as though an Impressionistic painting. I got so confused I thought the Jesus balloon was Johnny Damon of the Red Sox).
Fortunately Garth at Musings from America’s Outback has an excellent collection of photos that I think you’ll enjoy.
If you’ve never been to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta (which closes tomorrow morning), I strongly urge you to make the trip at least once. The Special Shapes especially draw oohs and aahs from children of all ages.
Did they have Bullwinkle?
These are flying balloons, not parade balloons.
Wow, what a crash. Some lucky ducks to be able to get into the tower and climb down.
