13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Balloon Regatta
This picture shows the early morning of the annual Elephant Butte, NM, Balloon Regatta, as the balloons were just about to go up, with the state's largest lake and incredible mountains in the background. Hot air balloons are the ultimate in sustainable travel as they have minimal impact on the environment while providing amazing aerial views, all at a relaxed, slow pace, drifting with the prevailing winds.
