A Balloon and the Smokey Sunrise

This morning, I was up just after sunrise and thought for sure I had missed any passing balloons.  The air is still smoke filled and the sunrise shrouded in red and smoke.

So when a balloon materialized out of the smoke haze next to the rising sun, I took some photos.  It was beautiful.  The sunrise was shrouded red with the smoke from countless wildfires.
