2007 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Shot some clips early(6 to 6:30 am)on Monday, October 9, 2007. Coldest day so far since last winter. Started out good but as soon as the sun popped up over the Sandia mountain the wind picked up and they canceled the launch. Not before a hundred or so had all ready taken off. Sadly one of them carrying four passengers crashed into some high power lines at the same time I was taking these clips. One of them fell 70 some feet to the ground and died. Last couple clips we're taken on October 11, 2007. Beautiful day.
