A photo report of Balloonfiesta 2017 in Albuquerque? – which ended last Sunday with a mass ascension. The festival was just so awesome to experience! The event started some 40 years ago as a birthday gift for the organizer’s mom (with a lightening up of what was then 13 balloons). Nowadays it’s a huge event, with hundreds of balloons (almost up to a thousand) rising up to the sky each morning and lots of people saluting them – and two Dutchies running around in between to capture the moment :). Below pictures from a Mass Ascension and a GlowDeo (a lightening up without ascension in the evening) and some impressions of the festival life itself, enjoy!
