Back to the races..here's some fun pics from afar of the Reno Balloon Races held the previous weekend in Reno, NV.
This first pic shows how far away the balloons were from my hotel Grand Sierra Casino and Resort:
The pink and white one is the ever-famous Energizer Bunny Balloon which a friend of mine tells me is the tallest balloon in the world. I was lucky enough to find a setting on my camera for Macro which pulled the balloons in, and magnified them a little. At the smallest size, they are the most recognizable:
The pictures on this setting look almost surreal, as if they were painted.
Here's the bunny from behind. That "N" is on the hill behind the balloons. My guess is "RENO", but I could only spot the "R" and the "N":
The brown head with the gold hat - Smokey the Bear:
At the bottom right of this next photo near the "N" is a red, black and yellow Bee - perhaps HoneyNut Cheerios ? Not sure -
Here's the "R":
and a closer pic of the Bee:
