Every year in October, balloonists from all over the world gather in the desert of New Mexico for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It has the reputation of being the most photographed event in the world. Spectators are allowed to walk among the balloons, talk to the balloonists, and even pay for a ride in a balloon.
There are many kinds of events, but the Night Glow and the Mass Ascension are my favorites. The excitement of seeing hundreds of huge balloons rise into the sky all at once is impossible to put into words. It is truly awesome.
