Did you get to ride in one of the balloons?  I love the shot of the 'tall' shadows.  What a beautiful day.

It was great weather - good light for photography and calm enough for flight.  No, I didn't get to fly along, though I went up quite a ways in a large manlift.  That gave let me capture the shadows of people below, and see the balloons from above the treeline.  Ah, if only we could really fly, the photos we would get.
