These are some of the low resolution photos from Sunday, Nov. 20, 2005 at the Whamobass Hot Air Ballooning event in Coalinga, CA. I know that there are a lot of photos here and it is difficult to see very many of them without getting bored. I have tried to include photos that give a sense of the morning's activities - from the pre-dawn take-offs, the individual set up and balloon inflation, the frenzy of activities where many balloons are inflating and lifting off at about the same time, the chance formations of balloons in the air, and finally the occasional touchdowns in the nearby fields. My personal favorites are 1055, 1272, 1300, 1408, 1418, 1435, 1452, 1493, and 1547. I believe the photo of the two balloons with the moon (1435) is the best of the bunch. In the original even the seas on the moon are visible. High Resolution photos are available. If any viewer knows the names of the balloons, I would be happy to add the names to the titles.
