Enlightening Experience.... Glow

For those of you who missed the Forest Park Balloon Glow.... It was an enlightening experience!

Here are a few photos for you to enjoy.  Unfortunately, balloons are constantly moving so they appear a little fuzzy.

After sitting in traffic for about 1 and 1/2 hours, we finally found a parking spot.  Then we had to trek across the park to the field with the balloons.  I could not believe how far away we managed to park.  At least, the walk through the park was refreshing.  Forest Park is a beautiful setting for a stroll on a gorgeous night.  By this time, it was getting late.  Yes, the parking situation took me by surprise.  I did not expect the crowd of people.  We arrived just in time to see two balloons deflated.  Followed by the others within a 15 minute time period. 

 We enjoyed the glowing balloons but the overwhelming amount of trash was disheartening.  Apparently, the trash had been over-flowing of some time.  And then the people decided to throw their trash on the grounds.  It was sad even though it was very dark. Ann Hayden Ballon Glow 2008

 I feel enlightened to have made it to this event prior to all the balloons loosing their "air".

We have many fun events here is St. Louis and surrounding areas.  I try to let people know about them so they can attend.  Stay tuned to my blog to know what is going on or sign on to SelectAnn.com.

I've seen a lot of hot air balloons, but never glowing ones. Thanks for the photos.

Vickie,

I am happy to have "shown" the glowing ones to you.

Ann,

I wanted to take more photos but they took them all down too fast.  Either that or I sat in the traffic too long.

Hi Ann,

I have never seen glowing balloons before!  I am sure the long traffic wait was worth it!

The glowing photos are pretty, even with the fuzz.  It sounds like you had a nice evening.
