Very nice.
I flew my plane (Legally) over the Thunderbird balloon fiesta and wish I had been able to take photos. The glows were amazing from above.

Just curious, but how many miles do most of these balloon travelers go before descending?

I've been there many times but never rode in a balloon. Very nice perspective!
