My husband and I went out for dinner last night, and stumbled upon a hot air balloon festival. What a great surprise! We saw several hot air balloons launch. Then when it got dark, 13 of the balloons gathered in the field and had a "glow." People could walk around right by the balloons and talk to the pilots. It was an awesome and unexpected evening!

What gorgeous and dramatic photos! Looks like there was perfect weather for a balloon launch. I've never attended one, but I sure would like to. Your photos gave me a taste of how delightful a hot air balloon festival can be.

I have only seen one hot air balloon in person and that was at the state fair last year. Being able to see several at once would be amazing.

Terrific photos! St. Louis has a huge balloon race every year in September, but it's always such a treat to see a balloon by surprise.

What a great way to spend an evening - and so unexpected too. These are some lovely photos and I'm sure you'll have a lovely memory of this night for time to come.
