[Leica] Dawn Patrol at Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

[Aram Langhans]

Long before the sun comes up, the balloons are busy getting ready. A few 
are selected for the Dawn Patrol.  They go up before the sun and test 
the wind conditions to see if the main event can proceed. Here a few 
shots from the Dawn Patrol.

View them large if you can.
