Festival of Balloons, Tigard Oregon
Saw this on my commute to work. A third of my route is on a MUP, I saw the top of this balloon peaking over some trees. It was a short detour to get to the launch zone. I was maybe 50 yards from it, setting up my bike with a helmet kickstand when I looked up and saw it starting to climb! First time I'd been near a hot air balloon at launch.
