Due to my fear of heights, I’ve never had any interest in riding in a hot air balloon. But oh, I love to watch them, and have since I went to the Hot Air Balloon Nationals in Iowa back in 1988.

Denver photographer Greg Thow apparently has a passion for balloons himself, as evidenced by his breathtaking 2011 Hot Air Balloon series. Have a look at the shots that follow, then click over to see the rest of the set.

To see more of Thow’s work, visit Greg’s site, Denver Digital Photography. To purchase a shot for your own collection, e-mail him at denverdigitalphotography@gmail.com. I just framed and hung two photos from his Denver series yesterday and my little office is a far more pleasant place to be as a result.
