Everything is going up these days. Prices, temperatures, everyone's bloody tempers.
Hell of a lot of ordnance too it seems. Thankfully not everything that goes up must be bad.
There's a balloon festival fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico that clocks in as the worlds largest.
Get there at 0500 and you can catch more than 600 hot air balloons going up with the sun.
Early October mornings in the New Mexico desert can be on the chilly side until the sun peeks over the mountains, which gets the temps going up like a hot air balloon.

If the first few seasons of Celebrity Billionaire Apprentice: Government Edition go as well as I expect, ballooning might not be a bad hobby to take up.
Either that or flying drones in New Jersey.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta goes up the first full week of October every year, if you're ever in the area that time of year don't let the opportunity fly by.
It's nine days long, with both morning and evening events and really something to see.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's time I best be getting going on up to bed.
Fantastic shots!
Thank ya!
