14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Sustainable Travel
Koshare Balloon, Gallup New Mexico USA, at The International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque, Oct 2, 2016.

Four Corners is not known for being Eco-friendly with hole in ozone observable from space. That said, (with electric power changing from coal to cleaner burning natural gas) the Gallup origin, and Navajo Nation, selected a Hopi design with Koshare sponsoring the balloon. Interestingly, the clouds elsewhere are nowhere in this photo. It was best of the day, I believe, for capturing the famous blue hue that is "New Mexico True". It's the air that makes the State livable. The balloon floats like a feather in Father Sky. Congrats to Koshare.
