Early morning balloon ride in Cappadocia. I was up and on the road by 4:40 am the morning of my balloon ride. Its a pretty surreal feeling to be up in the air above this incredible landscape at sunrise with (possibly) hundreds of other balloons as well. I managed to grab a spot at the edge of my balloon, which made for better shots. However, it was also at the edge of my balloon, so I was extra cautious lest I not fall out! It ended up being a great day for the ride for photography, as there were dark clouds in the sky with the sun occasionally peeking out. This didn't make for the best balloon ride, mind you (it was also windy, and we ended up riding to the side of the breathtaking landscape), but it was perfect for taking shots. This is the best photo I took in the air, as I captured the sun breaking free and hitting some of the landscape while the clouds engulf the sky.
