143/365 WRAL Freedom Balloon Festival143/365 WRAL Freedom Balloon FestivalDay 143
Went to volunteer at the balloon festival this morning. Saw many balloons take off. They were heading out one at a time, so no mass ascension today. The balloons didn't come back to land here on the targets put out because the wind picked up. Not sure where they went!

So disappointed with this though - it was so poorly planned they didn't even check in or give volunteers anything to do! I can't say that I didn't expect this, communication and planning has been almost non-existent since I signed up for this last December. Shame really - could have been such a nice event. The weather is wonderful for this weekend.

Gallery contains 20 photos.

ISO 400, 29mm, 1/1000s at f/5.6
