38th edition of the International Air Balloon Festival in Chateau-d'oex

[Derrel]

I shot the Walla Walla, Washington "Stampede" in the mid-1980's, a large, west coast USA balloon festival held over rolling green hills and prairies in that states Palouse region, and your photos reminded me of what it was like to shoot multiple balloons that had been almost simultaneously launched. I especially liked the shots with people in the gondolas. I had never before seen a balloon festival done over snow-covered landscape, and I found it very interesting to see the snow and the balloons. Thanks for posting!
