A friend lives in Albuquerque and goes to their balloon festival every year. I've seen many gorgeous photos...
Now I have to do that. Someone really needs to find a way to make life longer. I'll need at least 300 years to see everything.
. They need to make life a lot longer!! I want to see everything too !!! The balloon ride I want to take is over the Loire valley and the castles..I'm open to any better possibilities I may not be aware of... If you happen to know of any better balloon rides. Not the one over Niagra Falls tho, saw that in 360? in Disney and that was good enough Great photo of the forum. I was on a tour, so unfortunately I did not get that view!! I think I got my first zoom camera on that trip. I was zooming it up to the tops of things not seen with the naked eye. Got some great photos of the top inside of that arch behind the columns....some other nice surprises too, when the film was developed. Have to go back with the digital zoom. To get those colors, my camera has a palate symbol and there is a setting to enhance the colors, although sunrise/sunsets always help.

I would think the top one is the professional one because of the color & the sky. They may have been waiting for the clouds. They are almost identical except for the color.
The professional shot is a thousand times better. The sunset makes a huge difference, but it's just a better shot any way you look at it. I can blame the camera. The pro probably used something far more expensive, but a great photographer doesn't need the best equipment.

I've heard there are some good balloon rides in Australia, but I've never done it. The professional shot above was obviously taken at sunset. I'm sure there are all sorts of digital ways to manipulate it these days, but nothing can replace a real sunset.

Thank goodness.

^Real estate agents have their photos digitally altered many times. Blue skies, puffy clouds and sunset light. Here's some great shots of South Africa...

Holy shitballs. I'm sure there's a more polite way to put it, but that's what I thought while watching this. Whoever invented HD needs to get a Nobel prize. This is the best video I've seen in a long time. On the one hand, thank you so much for posting this. On the other hand, now I'm going to have to spend who knows how much money to go there.

It was so much more impressive, than still photos, wasn't it? This is one of those digitally enhanced photos I was telling you about. Real estate agents use them a lot. St. Petersburg one of my fav cities (photo is too large) The bridges there are art themselves... http://gotravelaz.com/wp-content/uploads/images/St_Petersburg_28658.jpg Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/d8/3a/b0/d83ab09bf13150293ea3918be1da6630.jpg More photos as this church deserves the photo time. Wait for slideshows... http://www.saint-petersburg.com/cathedrals/church-resurrection-jesus-christ/ Puskinskaya near John Lennon St. http://www.etovidel.net/appended_files/big/4cebe07237381.jpg

You're welcome. Everyone should really watch the video you posted. It looks so much better in HD.

It was so gorgeous, wasn't it. Trying to mentally get the courage, to get in the pool by the waterfall. That looks so cool.

Beautiful Video!

^ That is beautiful...but OMG! I could never do that. Angels Landing at Zion Nat'l Park in Utah brought me to my knees. I was clinging to the earth. http://i2.wp.com/andystravelblog.boardingarea.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/angels-landing-zion-national-park-34.jpg

Yes, I was up there but I seem to remember that maybe there was another, wider area right before that area in the pic. I have some pics somewhere but I would never be able to find them. Beautiful Nat'l Park. It always makes me cry because it makes me feel so insignificant.
