The Glow

Reno, NV

So glad I got up early enough (3am) to catch the Glow, where 10 or 12 balloons
remain on the ground and light their balloons in a synchronized glow, twinkle and
dueling balloons, orchestrated to dueling banjos song. Next, the experts
perform the Dawn Patrol, where they launch 6 balloons into the dark sky.
Very dangerous. Last is the daytime launch of around 90 balloons.
Impossible to capture from the field, but amazing.
