 My apartment complex, desperate for renters apparently, started flying these outrageous balloons over the roofs. I would think it's cute and all, except we live in a gorgeous area on the foothills of a mountain preserve.

But! It made for a fun photo. I barely edited this one - just a bit of levels and sharpening.

However... I couldn't contain myself. So here are some editing orgies:

They are kind of fun for a little while! Hopefully they won't fly them a lot so you can enjoy your view!

Yeah, they all do that. It's ok but obscures your mountain views.
