Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic

I had been to Hot Air Balloon event at Sonoma County twice, i like this event, which take place at Keiser Park, Windsor, the event is not so crowded, relaxing, and good time for photography, but you must keep your finger across that weather is good in early morning... I'm funny to bring a white elephant as i forgot to charge my battery a day before... so most of the photo here contributed by Tommy and KCK, plus some which taken during my first visit...

You need to be there early in the morning, around 5pm, make sure you equip with your jacket and a cup of hot coffee.. cause will be really cold... At the beginning, 3 hot air balloon start to warm up, and heat up the event... make it hot!!... It really hot when i stand closer cause of curiosity....
All pilot will unload their pretty balloon accordingly... and get prepare the grand launch... Sushi and Purple People Eater was kissing.... so sweet~~~ haha... Today is good day for everyone, even Energizer Bunny jump over my head, could be cause the bunny ear that i had... thanks to Energizer... Partially cloud of the day make the scene seem like a dream world, and balloon surf freely in the sky.... " Bunny!! Please bring me there!!"
We take a 5 dollar ride, the balloon was tighted to ground... but not too bad... and i realize most the people who queue up is either kid or parent with kid...This photo is from 2007 album... nice sushi post ho... all look at camera... cheers... Last but not least... Today is belong to sky...
