This shot was taken from the amphitheater at the Sandia Resort. The amphitheater hosts outdoor concerts. I attended the Moody Blues concert a few weeks ago. Some of the balloons on this morning actually landed on the resort golf course.
The two photos above were taken across from the western Sandia Resort parking lot. This balloon developed a small hole and slowly sank to the ground. The chase-crew was quickly on hand to pack up the balloon and place it in the trailer. Ballooning is a dangerous sport. Luckily no one was hurt. I was driving out of the parking garage on my way to Starbucks when I saw the "crash."
The photos below were taken from the parking lot of the Sandia Resort. I stood by my car and watched them fly overhead. I met one woman who came from a group from Hawaii to attend the Fiesta. In all, hundreds of balloonists from over 22 countries attended this year's Fiesta.
