New Mexico has begun its famous annual hot air balloon event in Albuquerque. The international fiesta is one of the most photographic events in the world.
The annual gathering has become a major economic driver for the state’s biggest city. The Rio Grande and nearby mountains provide spectacular backdrops to the fiesta that began with a few pilots launching 13 balloons from an open lot near a shopping center on what was the edge of Albuquerque in 1972.
