Its just the annual balloon festival. I think it might be a race, but mostly its just nifty. When I was a kid they had something similar, and we'd go outside and watch them go overhead.the .303 bookworm wrote:Where are all the balloons from? is it a race, event or simply a company renting them out?
Nice Pics BTW
It's an annual int'l event held here in Albuquerque, NM. People come from all over the world to basically show off their balloons. There are various contests and such involved with them, and there may or may not be one or more races involved, but I forget.the .303 bookworm wrote:Where are all the balloons from? is it a race, event or simply a company renting them out?
Mostly because we have a very busy thunderstorm season in the summer around these parts.Dooey Jo wrote:Nice! Those clouds look like very much like mammatus clouds (or mammatocumulus). They are usually seen on thunder clouds (the big cumulonimbus type), but sometimes forms on more "regular" clouds as well. They are a rare sight up here in cold country (I've actually never seen any) but you apparently get quite plenty of them
Really, i work for the power company and up coming here in july will be our worst thunderstorm season. We get some wicked skies. Glad you folks like the picsGrandMasterTerwynn wrote:Mostly because we have a very busy thunderstorm season in the summer around these parts.Dooey Jo wrote:Nice!
