Drifting low over a hazy patch of countryside as the light fades, this balloon is caught in the soft, blurred glow that makes dusk flights so distinctive. Ballooning has long been a favorite subject for photographers because the craft moves so slowly that a camera can hold its shape against the sky for a moment longer than most aircraft allow. Pictures like this one capture the quiet appeal of early balloon travel, when a flight was as much about watching the land drift beneath you as about reaching a destination.
