[Leica] Dawn Patrol and Evening Glowdeo at Albuquerque

[Aram]

The day starts off before sunrise as a select few balloons are poised to take off to test the wind conditions if they get a green flag.  We got up early two days to see this.  View them large if you can.

Then in the evening, after sunset, the balloons are tethered to the ground, but inflate and light up for all to wander around and see.  It is called the Special Shape Glodeo.  Weather permitting, it is a good show.  This year the winds limited the activity both nights we went.
