Burner
Flame On
A crew works to add the hot air to this hot air balloon. Standing this close to that flame, the heat becomes a bit uncomfortable. This crew was taking part in the Balloon Rally during the Hamburger Festival in Seymour, WI August 3, 2012.
Because I was close – taking photos like this – when the balloon began to rise from the ground, they asked me to join the crew holding the basket, adding my weight to keep the balloon from lifting off.
