After the Glowdeo, there is a LASER  light show that is hard to photograph, but I tried.

Then the fireworks start.  This year it started with something that no one noticed for a bit until they looked up.  4 or 5 skydivers were firing fireworks on their way down.  Really spectacular in their lit up suits, but terribly difficult to photograph.  I did try a video the next day, but also with limited success.

Be sure to see it large to get a glimpse of the blurred canopies with the skydivers in glowing suits.

More traditional fireworks follow, but an amazing display.  It was shorter than two years ago, but the skydivers made up for that in spades.

And that concludes the tour of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta for 2018.  Put it on your list of things to see.

Comments welcome.

Now, off to Yosemite.
