Why do people come back year after year to see the same sight? Hot air balloons look the same, the numbers remain pretty much unchanged, and an amateur photographer will probably have similar snaps year after year. Then why the return of the massive crowd to the Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno, NV?.
Today, we woke up at 5am to go to the “The Great Reno Balloon Race”, a yearly event enjoyed by the young and the old. This year was our second year attending yet it looked anew to us. Perhaps that is the sole reason people return year after year to see the same site.
An event like this is not plausible in many areas of US but yet among the few places in US, Reno happens to be one, about 3 minutes away from where we reside. We did stand in awe seeing the beauty when 100 hot air balloons launched last year. Today, once again we stood in awe like a first-timer. Pictures, movies, or words can never fully express the beauty and uniqueness felt by first-hand spectators. You have to there in person to see it for yourself and you will never regret it.
