23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunrise Balloon Ride
53 Balloons lifted off together at Sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey. This area is known for the out-of-the-world scenery, including the famous fairy chimneys shown in this picture. We spent a month in Greece and Turkey two months ago, and this was one of the high points of the trip.
