    Hudson ( MA ) Ballon Festival

    Last Night went up to the Hudson Ballon Festival. I have crewed for a ballon in the past. the Ballon I usually crew for did not need any help ( initially ) I was working on setting up the re-max ballon

    I got some a couple of shots in here. and then they came and set up again for what is called a night glow.

    The Ballon I was working on



    this is the one I usually work on and did help take down after the night glow.



    FIRE!!!



    A few other ballons











    His legs are hanging down, no Basket, just starpped to his propane tank and away he goes.



    The ballon I was helping was teh last to Launch



    when they came back , set up again for the Night glow.















    Feel free to edit my Pics to show me how to make them Better.

    Beautiful colors - and quite interesting view. I wouldn't want to be strapped to a Propane tank flying through the air!

    Thanks for posting - I really enjoyed looking.
