  • Killing Altitude by Bryan Peterson

    This image has not been rotated. The pilot has finishes his aerobatics and is doing a spin to quickly loose altitude and get back on the ground so he can go back up and do it all over again. I think these guys are crazy but then again I’ve gone up with them on a few occasions so what does that say about me. Image captured at Vaughn Bay, Washington. /

  • Up, Up, and Away by Dennis Penny

    The Fifth Dimension – Up, Up And Away Lyrics Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon / Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon / We could float among the stars together, you and I / For we can fly we can fly / Up, up and away / My beautiful, my beautiful balloon / The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon / It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon / We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky / For we can fly we can fly / Up, up and away / My beautiful, my beautiful balloon / Suspended under a twilight canopy / We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us / If by some chance you find yourself loving me / We’ll find a cloud to hide us / We’ll keep the moon beside us / Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon / Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon / If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky / For we can fly we can fly / Up, up and away / My beautiful, my beautiful balloon / Balloon… / Up, up, and away…..

  • The Curtsey! ~ Featured 12/28/08 by PaulAlbert

    Well probably more like deep knee bends before climing to the skies and dancing. I only wish you could hear the crowd, which reminds me, take notice how close the spectators are to this, facinating special shapes hot air balloon, owned by a Canadian firm, and visits the Annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, the second week of October every year! Airabelle is a marvel to see fly, she has a flight and support crew of 16, the envelope weights near 900 lbs, I’ve witnessed her flying from 20 miles away, with the naked eye !

  • The Cathedral ! by PaulAlbert

    All of these Balloons have names, it’s just that I have not commited to remembering them all, I call them all pretty that is the way I see them, I can always come back and fill in the names, just not today, now I do recall that the Cathedral is 88 foot tall and 140 foot long,,,Thats a lot of hot air folks, a whole big bunch, word is that it Rivals Airabell in size, so there again it looks right sized in the sky, to my recall again, this past year 2008 was it’s inaugural flying year, the crowd and myself included were astonished by it’s size, as it was launching, there were smaller conventional sized balloons around, so I waited to get the best shot, and as luck was, it spun around slowly and all were happy, especially Me !

  • ARKY! by PaulAlbert

    Time to head for the Skies, 1995 Arky made her maiden voyage to Albuquerque, New Mexico, the early days of digital, 3.1 MP Kodak Moment, It was a fun year one of those years where out of 9 days of fiesta and 7 days mass assension got off the ground on time, also the last year that Kodak had sponsored with fiests, I sure hated to see them pull out, they were good for us and we them, but at a time when digital was on the increase it was hard to sell film, and of course they had fallen behind into the digital market, Thank You Kodak! Now I’m going on recall here but I seem to recall that the number of permitted entries for the event was regulated to 600 Ballons! of course it can be observed that they do launch from other places within the city!

  • We Have Lift Off by Visual Inspirations

    This was taken straight from my Canon Power shot S3 IS no adjustment on the image or special filters used. Straight up. The ISO was 100 and the mode was AV which made the shutter speed slower. / This balloon actually landed in our front yard in Rancho Santa Fe, CA and tried to take off to get out and they couldn’t.. needless to say, when they land, they open a bottle of Champaine and pass the bottle and we just joined them and had a ball!! The owner of the balloon gave us two free rides for landing in our yard! It was the largest hot air ballon ever made. It held 21 people. You see, We were having dinner and I said to Tony there is a balloon landing in the yard and he laughed and said.. “yeah right!” and we look out the door and sure enough, the pilot said “Are we too late for dinner?” and we laughed and drank Champaine for about 3 hours until they realized they couldn’t get out until the morning, so they came back. They also didn’t realize that we just caught a rattle snake about 5 feet from where they lander earlier that day, so no one got out of the balloon after I told them…lol /

Any day at balloon Fiesta is better than any day I ever had at work, well !maybe not Christmas Bonus day !

  • Lets Boggie! by PaulAlbert

    This cute character of the skies from most angles just seem to invite the viewing audiance to dance, the sneekers of course suggest jogging, but we all can see that there is little traction up there! so there you have it the Dancing Turtle!

    Everyone READ THIS!!!!!!!! NO More Broken Links in Bubblemails Advice!…So many of you are having trouble with LINKS in your bubble mail, that I thought I should let everyone know that the editor on redbubble …

    So many of you are having trouble with LINKS in your bubble mail, that I thought I should let everyone know that the editor on redbubble does not recognize a smart quote “Sunrise” from a regular straight quote like this “ You’ll notice if you look close the smart quote has one quote upside down and they are more curved than straight quotes. You can overwrite a smart quote just by typing over it as smart quotes come from a word process program like MS Word. If you copy something from the featured list realize that whoever is making that list is doing it in a word processor and it has smart quotes, so if you just copy and paste it into something you are trying to use as a link it will not work right. Links need straight quotes which you can get just by typing over the smart quotes in the thing you copied. so to refresh links are done like this: straight quote”, no spaces, the link words, no spaces, the end quote”, no spaces, colon :, the http address (space at end) example: *linkname *:http: //thelink address (note – replace * with straight quote!) or if you want to make a picture that you can click on to go to a link address you can do this by using the jpg address surounded by an exclaimation point, no spaces then the colon and link address example: ! the picture’s jpg address !:http://thelink address (no spaces between the ! and text) It took me a while to figure out I couldn’t just cut and paste the link information from the featured list and have it work, you need to type over the smart quotes. I hope passing this on will help all of you with link problems understand why. Hope that helps cut down the bubblemails with broken links!
