so, this morning was the dawn patrol and mass ascension... the dawn patrol was pretty damn cool, but, the mass ascension was indescribably amazing...



it was pretty much impossible to count, but, there were definitely over 100, but definitely not 200... and there were a few "special shapes", like a cow, a bottle, a scarecrow, a kettle of some kind, a couple that were what looked like bees maybe, and an american flag...

there are 13 pics and 3 vids, whittled down from a collection of over 350 combined that i took... the videos were the hardest to narrow down to the best of the best, so, i settled for the ones that best showed just how big this whole aerial display was.. check them out before i delete them tomorrow... 1, 2, and 3


a few more besides what i commented on above, all the pics from this morning's set start with "2a-"...
