The "Albuquerque Box" wind condition and clear skies made for a great morning to fly and watch balloons.

Due to the "Albuquerque Box" wind conditions, these two balloons were actually traveling in opposite directions.

Very nice pics..I would love to attend this sometime. I went to the one in Temecula this year..I am sure it is nothing like this one. Did anyone go up in the balloons?

Thanks Sean and Robert!

Sean, there are some balloonist that sell rides on their balloons during each Mass Ascension.
