Some photographs from this year's Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta:
I'll pair these with D.A. Powell's poem "Chronic" which begins,
were lifted over the valley, its steepling dustdevils
the redwinged blackbirds convened
vibrant arc their swift, their dive against the filmy, the finite air
Wonderful...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
DeleteWhat fun! Another friend of mine was just there for the balloon festival, too (her name is Luann and she's a photographer). I'd love to go to this some year.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Luann took some amazing photographs! Yes, you have to make it out to ABQ sometime!
DeleteBeautiful photographs! I can't decide which one I like best. Different amazing elements of each one. Love the excerpt from D.A. Powell too(he's so cool), a really great pairing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val!
DeleteHello! I was at the balloon fest this year as well; I travel to New Mexico every fall as a treat to my senses. Lovely poem...
ReplyDeleteHi Monica, thanks for stopping by. New Mexico is a beautiful place in the fall!
