A hot air balloon hangs low over a green pasture, its colorful envelope rising above a weathered wooden gate in the foreground. Ballooning has a long history in America, stretching back to the Montgolfier brothers' 1783 flights in France, and by the twentieth century it had become a popular sport and a spectacle at fairs and festivals. Pictures like this one capture the contrast between the rural landscape, with its open fields and simple fencing, and the bright, slow-moving craft that drifts over them. The gate in the foreground helps anchor the scene in everyday farm country.
