Irvine, California (Orange County Great Park)
This large illuminated orange balloon can hold 30 people and it goes 400 feet up in the air but that's as far as it goes because it's tethered to the ground. To get a better perspective look at the man bellow the balloon in the bottom photo.
One of these days I'm going to take a ride in this thing.

You might get some interesting photos from up there, James. Meanwhile, your shots from below are lovely.

Me too, thought it was the full moon at first, which I saw rising here yesterday. Hope you'll get up there and show us the view...
It's cool that it's lighted and goes up at night. Take a good image stabilized lens with you!!
Yeah! Cool!
Like a sun... sunshine!
Hugs.

Dramatic shots.
Have fun if you go up. Hope the cable doesn't break, hehe.
You could almost imagine to fly to, or with, the moon!I'm sure you'll have great sensations!

Wow. Great shots again James. Thanks for showing.
The view from up there must be nice but the colors would be much different!
It would be nice for an anniversary celebration!
Do you have an idea for the price?
Go for it. Just don't untie the tether rope.
very cool, can't wait to see pictures when you do ride the balloon.
This is a gorgeous balloon and must have been in strong competition with the full moon last night! Please post some photos when you go UP!
