It's International Balloon Fiesta time in Albuquerque once again. The wife and I drove around town to various places to watch the balloons. We ended up here in Corrales down by the river. Lots of balloons were landing in this general area.

I like that this is a close-up look, but still contains other balloons in full. It's a nice way to see the whole thing and the important thing at the same time :-) I could wish that it wasn't so overcast, but at least the cloud cover was interesting!
