Bear face design of hot air balloon

Talk about form and color! With their voluminous size, kaleidoscopic color and imaginative design, hot air balloons are a fascinating sight.

It can be quite dramatic when dozens of balloons ascend at once as they do at hot air balloon festivals. If you've never been to one, go; it's definitely an uplifting experience!
