yesterday for my girlfriends b-day i took her on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride. It was incredible, extremely peaceful and calming, and naturally very scenic. We flew over a national forest on the edge of a town called Sedona that is know for its beautful "red rock" formations, canyons and mountains.
I'd highly reccomend it to anyone who ever has the chance.
I took a tons of pics of the whole process and made a little gallery for them.
The gallery can be found
Anyone else done this? or something similar??

Some amzing pics mazdog, nice of you to share them. Still streaming some of the videos as I write this but it sure looks like one hell of a day - you certainly don't get the chance to take photos like that everyday!
Looks like a great place to shoot a westerm film too
Thanks for posting

i think I will be going there in a couple of weeks . seeing how it's so close and all 
Yeah nice one 'Dog. Your girlfriend most have been so stoked (happy) and there are some really great photos there.
Haven't been up in the sky on anything else but a plane and I would probably just shit myself anyway going up in a balloon or hang gliding or indeed as Fly By Nite mentioned freefalling or parachuting.
Come to think of it, I really wish the cabin staff on aeroplanes would stop all the life jacket and emergency exit demonstrations. That shit must freak a few people out.

I take it your wife has lots of Life Insurance!
When the going gets weird, the weird get going!
Almost sounds like your trying to get rid of her.FlyByNite wrote:I gave my wife a hot air balloon ride for Xmas one year, Gave my 70 year old mother-in-law one for her birthday.

You couldn't pay me enough to get into a hot air balloon. Nope, not me. My feet like the ground waaaaaay too much.50 characters? Nothing to say in 50 characters.
