Balluminaria - Eden Park Balloon Glow
Balluminaria is an event that takes place periodically in Eden Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. The event is a 'balloon glow' in which owners of hot-air balloons inflate them at night because the flames make for such an eerie and beautiful effect. It's quite extraordinary to behold as one hot-air balloon after the other ignites its burner and, finally, all of them light up at once.
I hope you enjoy these photographs. It was extremely cold that night and I couldn't operate the camera while wearing gloves. My hands didn't warm back up until after I got home and that was a forty-five minute drive!
