Great shots! Not to throw a wet blanket on your post but several years ago one of the balloons in that region crashed and killed about 17 people. The crew was not properly trained, the balloon was not currently inspected. Balloon rides were suspended for some time, then resumed when a public outcry was heard about lost revenue. Without any significant change in procedures!
This happened not long after I had been on a flight with them..
