We traveled to Durango Colorado, to see our first Balloon Glow. It was all part of the Animas Valley Balloon Rally. In parking lots and on the Main Street of Durango balloon crews began laying out huge canvas mats to place the deflated balloon on.Once the balloon is expanded and ready it is filled with air from a powerful fan. Propane tanks are ignited and the balloon fills with hot air. As the hot air fills the balloon it expands and begins to lift into the air.All over downtown Durango balloon crews ‘fired up’ their crafts.One of the few ramaining hand painted balloons takes shape. Suddenly downtown Durango is filled with hot air balloons.That orange balloon is now a gigantic carved pumpkin leering through the trees of downtown. Boyhowdy that was quite an evening in Southwest Colorado when the sky was glowing with hot air balloons.
