This was one of my last photos from my balloon trip over the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. It was an incredible experience – something I’ll never forget, and I literally took hundreds of photos. And then, I did something really unusual for me, and shut off the camera and just enjoyed the moment, the warm sun hitting us as we drifted on the breeze, and I’m sure looked as peaceful as this scene was…

This shot shows what an incredible experience it was for you. Wonderful dof, lighting, tones, colours, mood and capture. Well done indeed. An instant fave.
Elana, I’ve tried to limit to the photos I most liked and still have a pile of pictures from this one balloon experience. It was truly awesome and I’m so glad to have some great shots from it! Thank you so much!

a great way to end your your trip!
Stunning capture!
Linda – it was awesome and I appreciate it! Believe it or not, only about the halfway mark of the trip! But even on the last night when our guide asked for our favorite moment, I picked the balloons. :-)

Love this. A lot of the one’s I love are in Egypt. My boyfriend said he’d get me one of these for our living room for my birthday, so this is one that I’m leaning towards!
So glad you like it! The experience was just phenomenal – something I’ll never forget. I had never ballooned before never mind in such an incredible place. It’s really hard to top that combo of experiences. This was one of the last photos I took as i shuttered my camera and just soaked in the moment. Whatever one you choose hope it’s one you love!
