This weekend is Pagosa Springs annual Colorfest celebration which includes hot air balloon ascensions on both Sat and Sun mornings. Here's a shot from Saturday's ascension which took place behind the hot springs resort along the San Juan River.

Very nice reflection Guy!

That is one sweet shot. The sweeping clouds really add to the sense of movement.

What a superb angle from which to capture this ascension!
You might consider cropping the left about an inch to the first 'turret' of that building.
By doing that, you lose some assorted stuff that lays between the resort grounds and the river bank.
I reckon I'm thinking like a Chamber of Commerce type individual with that advice as they would be nuts not to buy this from you!

That is a GREAT shot! Well done!

Beautiful colors and I really like the reflection.

Great shot. Ditto what Morris said. This belongs in some Pagosa adverts!

Now there's a magazine/calendar shot if I ever saw one! Well seen, Guy.
