Catalonia Balloon Fleet Mass Ascent Predawn in in Catalonia

Catalonia Balloon Fleet Mass Ascent Predawn

by Wilma Pratt

Silvery winter light falls through heavy overcast skies to illuminate a fleet of hot air balloons preparing for mass ascent in a Catalan field. Predawn darkness holds the surrounding landscape in shadow while the balloon envelopes glow with soft, internal warmth. Converging lines of tether ropes and the arrangement of the baskets create a vanishing point deep into the view. Textured fabric of the envelopes shows vertical seams and woven patterns against the smooth, flat ground. Baskets sit low, their woven reed sides visible against the dim earth. The stillness of the waiting fleet and the muted, grey tones of the sky establish a quiet presence. One reflection of a burner flame flickers on the wet grass near the nearest basket.
