Dawn light catches a cluster of hot air balloons drifting above farmland and desert hills, their colored envelopes glowing against the cool sky. Ballooning of this kind grew popular in the United States during the late twentieth century, when lighter, more reliable fabrics and propane burners made recreational flights practical for ordinary pilots. Early-morning launches are favored because the air is calm and cool, which keeps the balloons steady and lets pilots ride gentle currents across the landscape. The contrast between patterned fields and open desert is a reminder of how much ground a single flight can cover.
