Inflating the lion balloon, Special shapes balloon glow, International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque, NM

This photo shows the initial stages of inflating the lion balloon. They start with a large fan blowing air into the space. Once it's partially inflated, they crank up the flame, which fills the balloon the rest of the way, enabling it to rise vertically. Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque, NM
