KAPADOKYA BALLOON SUNRISE

Very few things will get me up BEFORE sunrise. Can't think of any, actually, except a hot air balloon ride. 

As you may remember from "My favorite things about Turkey" post, the hot air balloon ride in Kapadokya was indeed MY FAVORITE THING. So, naturally, I have a lot of photos to post about the experience. And, by a lot, let me tell you I spared the other 500. Kidding... Sort of! You would be surprised how many photos can actually be taken on a fairly short hot air balloon ride. A lot.

I photographed the balloon from every angle imaginable. It's just so big, bright and bold, the perfect model for this blog. It was amazing to see the other balloons so close to us (though..not too close. We didn't hit!) We were floating above breathtaking scenery (more on Kapadokya tomorrow) but the balloons themselves were incredible.
