Durangoan Loc: Durango,Colorado

First ever balloon rally in Durango this time of year. Balloon glow in downtown Friday night. Launch from the north valley Saturday morning. I had to work outside on a house Saturday morning, the balloons were launched nearby. I took pictures as time and opportunity allowed.

I kind of like this one, maybe?

Hopefully it will become an annual event. The is something magical about hot air balloons.

Very nice series. Hot air balloons are beautiful and majestic, but should be posted in Photo Gallery.

Thanks for your replies. I thought I was posting them in the Photo Gallery. This is the first time I have done this. I will try to repost. Hopefully it will become an annual event, I have heard that 2 of the 3 balloons inflated downtown cut their envelopes on the buildings. Probably means we won't see them downtown like this again.
