A different view of the balloon gores from the Citrus Classic Balloon Festival. I tried to capture the geometric shapes and brightly colored balloons as they were tethered in the field awaitng passengers before takeoff.

Hi Karen,

Zoomed in, geometric color patterns, and impressive giant hot air balloons. I like the lack of sky, and focus on the balloon details.

Hopefully, I can make it to the next Santa Paula balloon festival.

Have a wonderful spring, and keep up the interesting and challenging images,
Sincerely, Cheers,

Ray
