and so Fall begins

Labor Day weekend, here in the States, is the unofficial end of summer. In Colorado Springs, we celebrate that with a three day hot air balloon rally (weather permitting). This morning was cloudy, with high winds aloft, but the balloons went up anyway and stayed close to the ground. Here is a ballon I have not seen before. Also present were Darth Vader, Yoda, and a friendly dinosaur! Hopefully I can post more ballooons tomorrow.
