Description
A flotilla of about 70 hot air balloons drift southward over the crowd from their launch sites at the Balloon Fiesta Park, during the morning mass ascension on October 6, 2013, during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The morning sun highlights their multiple colors and shapes, including the massive Wells Fargo stagecoach balloon. Over 500 hot air balloons participated in the 2013 Balloon Fiesta, most of which had already drifted over the horizon when this was captured. 8x10 horizontal format photograph.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I am an opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer to capture the spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring, and rarely photograph staged subjects other than portraits. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I continue to study and learn the craft. Long ago, I embraced the hugely expanded opportunities offered by digital photography, but I have only been posting them online since September 2012. As a result, I have now successfully sold several of my works. I will continue to post my very best works on FAA and other sites every day or two, as time permits. Please revisit my sites periodically. I welcome your votes, support and gently constructive criticism or suggestions, all of which help guide me in my photographic odyssey. Nothing makes me happier as a photographer than knowing someone likes one of my works so much that they purchased one. I look forward to hearing from my purchasers about how and where you are using your purchased photograph, and from potential purchasers if you would like to buy something in a format not available on the website.
