Balloons preparing for the Albuquerque International Balloon Feista October 7-15, Albuquerque, NM
When I was doing my morning errand run, I saw that about 10 balloons were up in the air and preparing for the Albuquerque International Balloon Feista that happens every year here in Albuquerque, New Mexico U.S.A. during the month of October.
From what I remember, this is the largest balloon festival in the world and normally has 100’s of balloons including sometimes 100+ special shapes balloons from over 20+ countries. It is a crazy sight to see 100’s of balloons hovering over you as you are driving the city streets so you have to be real careful for other distracted drivers.
One thing I learned this morning is that if I am going to take some good photos, I am going to need a better camera then my camera on my phone. Either way, this is one event that makes New Mexico’s nickname, ‘The Land of Enchantment’ shine through.
Here is a link to a Business Insider article from 2015 and some of the photos some took from the same link, including one over the city.
