Thunderbird Hot Air Balloon                   Classic, A Study in Color

The Awakening

A Couple of Characters

If you have every watched a hot air balloon floating through the sky and marveled at how colorful it was imagine being surrounded by colorful balloons full of hot air lifting off all around you.

At first the balloons are layed on the ground and the heater is positioned in front of the opening at the bottom of the balloon. As the balloons fill with the heated air they begin to rise until they are standing in all their glory.

Than they begin to lift off and soon the sky is filled with color.

The visual affect cannot be truly described in words or shown in pictures. The only way to really understand how it looks is by attending a balloon festival and experiencing it in person. There is more than just the color. There are the imaginations of the balloonists that appear in the balloons they fly.
