It is very lovely! It reminds me of the kind of scene you see in an animated fairy tale movie. Silhouettes are lovely against the sunset.
Helen - I have put up a quick web page as a welcome home for Jerry's son Charlie. He was due to leave Iraq yesterday - so he may be home by now. Jerry has always been very kind and nice to everyone here, and I know he loves and missed his son. I am copying your link and if its OK with you, may I put it on the web site with a welcome home comment? You can see the page at Welcome Home Charlie

What a unique and beautiful picture of a sunrise. I especially love what seems like two layers of silhouettes.

Stunning again!. Did you ever fly with a balloon? It is like the poem: ones you have done it, you always look up and long to do it again.

Brilliant. I especially love how the buildings fade as do the balloons fade.

Since I am a fan of hot air balloons I must say this one is one of my favorites. You don't expect to see them on this type of skyline too often. Nice work
