Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta New Mexico USA

 The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is an annual October event in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  

The special shapes draw lots of attention.

Breakfast is part of the fun.

Shopping for Balloon pins and other memorabilia is part of the routine.

Here's a brief video of hot air balloons I took from the field early on Saturday morning 4 October, 2014.

See my YouTube Channel for more videos. SuttonTravels.

The official launch begins with the National Anthem and enthusiasm.

After the sunrise, the balloons begin to fill the bright blue sky.
