Balloon wranglers

Many companies offer hot air balloon rides in Luxor, Egypt. Trucks with workers follow the balloons in their flight over the Valley of Kings and various temples so that they will be ready to fold and load the balloon onto the trucks once they gently return to earth. Between the dust from the desert sand, air pollution and dawn, there was a significant haze in the morning which helped give the background an ethereal feel.

Sunday Challenge: A NEW BEGINNING. Be creative and take the photo you would otherwise never take, in a different way, with a new perspective, a different subject, or otherwise unusual for you ... 20231221 064127 Although take a few weeks ago, this is a new type photo for me. I don't do aerial or panoramic photos and I certainly am not normally awake to see the sunrise of a new day. This was my first time riding an untethered hot air balloon. I had a lot of company with well over 30 balloons being launched to catch the sunrise.
