By Twilight, the Balloons Glow

Jared Haworth, Raleigh, North Carolina

The weather is always fickle when it comes to hot-air ballooning, and the Freedom Balloon Festival in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, in May was no exception. Only one of the festival's four days was calm enough to allow for a late evening "balloon glow," where dozens of teams inflated and illuminated their balloons for the assembled crowd.
