Great reflection. Just one question comes to mind. What happened next?
Did this ballon ride turn into a swimming exercise?

Jef, the balloon lands in the river often, and always goes back up---- so far.

Beautiful light; beautiful scene, Ron. I would clone out the truck because I think it distracts from the balloon and it's reflection.

Well seen and captured.

Regards,

Carol
