Hot air balloons drift above a patchwork of autumn woods and farm fields, a scene that shows how ballooning let people see the land from above. Ballooning took off in the late 1700s, when the Montgolfier brothers in France flew the first crewed hot air balloon in 1783, and the sport has since become a familiar sight over rural country. Balloon flights often start at dawn or late in the day, when the air is calm enough for the envelopes to rise safely. Notice how the bright canopies stand out against the muted reds and golds of the trees below.
