The last weekend in August, the annual Albany Art and Air Show was being held. Granddaughter, Fiona, son, Brock, Grammy Ellie and I went out at dawn on the first day to see the balloons.

@MARIANA: The reason for not cropping just the silhouettes is that this is a story telling series and for my opening shot, I needed more than the silhouettes. I probably should have begun with another shot of the balloons being blown up and then put in the cropped silhouettes. Oh well; too late now.
@Foto-aksent: Thank you.
@MARIANA: I certainly agree that a crop to just the silhouettes would have made for a stronger photograph. Thanks for your kind words.
