Hot air balloons lift off over a broad valley with mountains rising on the far side, a scene that shows how ballooning became a regular sight in open country rather than only a city spectacle. Early balloon flights in Europe during the 1780s drew crowds, and the basic idea of heating air to make a envelope rise has changed little since, though fabric, burners and flight control have improved greatly. Pictures like this one often highlight the sense of scale, with small baskets set against the land, and they remain a popular way to record the sport's appeal to flyers and watchers alike.
