Multitude of Balloons on the Ground

The hard thing to realize about hot air balloons is that they are extremely fickle. Whether or not the balloons are actually allowed to launch depends greatly on the weather and the wind. Two mornings in a row we waited in line in order to get our ride and two mornings in a row the weather just didn't work for us. Fortunately though, some balloons are allowed to 'launch' but tethered. This gave rise to a wide scene of balloons that you wouldn't see together (since they would rather be floating away periodically!).
