This photo was taken at dawn from our hotel balcony in Goreme, Turkey in 
August 2014.  We were given a cup of coffee, and were rugged up against the cold.  Our room was in the fairy chimney in the picture.  Some of the balloons were so close we waved to the people in the baskets.  There were hundreds of balloons.  It was an amazing sight. The early morning light was beautiful.  One of the highlights of our holiday in Turkey.
