After the Glowdeo, there is a LASER? light show that is hard to 
photograph, but I tried.

Then the fireworks start.? This year it started with something that no 
one noticed for a bit until they looked up.? 4 or 5 skydivers were 
firing fireworks on their way down.? Really spectacular in their lit up 
suits, but terribly difficult to photograph.? I did try a video the next 
day, but also with limited success.

Be sure to see it large to get a glimpse of the blurred canopies with 
the skydivers in glowing suits.

More traditional fireworks follow, but an amazing display.? It was 
shorter than two years ago, but the skydivers made up for that in spades.

And that concludes the tour of the Albuquerque International Balloon 
Fiesta for 2018.? Put it on your list of things to see.

Comments welcome.

Now, off to Yosemite.
