My wife and I had a great time visiting our family in California but it's good to be back. :-)
I probably should have taken a ride in the balloon, but I settled for a few pictures.
I'm not sure if this reflection shows how big this balloon is, so here's a description: "The Great Park Balloon is the Orange County Great Park’s iconic attraction. With the ability to hold up to 25 to 30 passengers, and soar 400 feet above the surrounding landscape, it serves as a public observation deck for the Great Park’s development and offers an unmatched 360° view that spans 40 miles on a clear day."
Happy Reflecting !

Glad you had a good trip! Crazy bright reflection!
ça devait être impressionnant ! un peu comme une visite de la lune sur terre ;)
I love the simplicity of this reflection of the balloon! I don't know if I'd have the nerve to go up though!
Wow, a reflection at night. Beyond my abilities.
wow, that's a huge balloon! At first, I thought that you were calling the moon a balloon. I'd love to be up high, but NOT in a balloon.
Wonderful nighttime reflection! Glad you had a good time, James.
Wow, that is a huge balloon. Made for a great reflection in your photo.
I'm glad it is tethered, after the recent tragedy of another very large balloon.
Wonderful nighttime reflection! I like the balloon colors!
Habe a nice weekend!

Très belle photo, la couleur orange va toujours très bien avec des couleurs sombres.

super shot...the balloon must be neat to see...neater to take a ride in! Great reflection!
Looks like a rising moon! I used to see balloons often when I lived in California. They would do tours in Napa, or west of the mountains if it wa too foggy in the Napa Valley. I always wanted to go, but never got around to it.
Glad you had a good trip.
those balloons are often very large. But this one looks very circular. Cool reflection.
Wow I would have thought that was taken looking out of a window rather than into one :)
that is a huge balloon James. Glad you had a good trip. Thanks for hosting. Have a wonderful weekend.
Very beautiful balloon even as a reflection. Nice shot.
Welcome back James, you did the right thing.. 400 ft in the air in a balloon is just not natural.. a bit like flying :) :)
Nice pic James! I went there one day with every intention of going up in that thing. Once I got there, I changed my mind. It's just not for me...
