Today is theme day in the City Daily Photo Blog community. Our theme is “best photo of 2008″. We have had the “best of” theme each January for three years now. Previously it was hard for me to select one photo. However, this year it was easy … This photo, taken at Freedom Weekend Aloft, was the first and only photo I considered … I love the photo and the memory. I loved the adrenaline which rushed through me as I took this photo and 400 others during a hot air balloon ride … I am sure I will ride in a hot air balloon again in 2009 …Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

You are right to be proud of this photo. The view is spectacular and it must have been a terrific thrill to be up there riding with the balloons!
Love the shot, Denton! HNY!!
Nashville Daily Photo sends you cheers for a happy new year! May the world find 2009 a more peaceful, optimistic, blessed and safe year.

That’s a superb choice – it would have been good from the ground, but that perspective takes us with – thanks for the ride! A happy and healthy NEw YEar to you and all yours from London
This photo is awesome! As I’m sure the experience was too. Truly enviable and I hope you get to do it again.
Happy theme day! Wishing you all the best in this new year.
Wow..Denton..this is really a wonderful photo.:) Happy new year!
What a view! That must have been a great experience. And it really is a fantastic photograph.
Wow, great choice Denton!
Happy new year 2009!
I do like your choice, Denton! Enjoying my Morbihan Gulf from a balloon is one of my dreams, maybe this year?
I too like your choice of photos. I envy anyone taking a ride in a hot air balloon.
Happy New Year to you and your family from Patty and Abe.
I love this photo and wish I were up there riding in one of those balloons. I got to take a ride in one once and loved it. Would definetly do it again. Love how you captured the balloons below while in the air. Great choice.
Have a Happy New Year!
Wow! This is really stunning, Denton. Right you are to choose this one. Happy New Year from Alabama!
Magnificent picture. Must bring back great memories for you. Happy New Year!
What an amazing photo and it must have been an awesome experience. Good choice!

Happy New Year!!
My anti-spam word was “dazzling” – how perfect for this incredible, dazzling photograph!
A Very Happy New Year to you in 2009 – may it bring peace, joy, friends and great photography!
Great picture, Denton. Thanks for all the pictures this year. Happy New Year to you and Connie!!
Oh yes, I remember. A great choice. Nice when photos bring back memories. Wishing you and your family and very Happy New Year, Denton.
wow, this is a beautiful shot!
happy new year from tempe, arizona!
Absolutely spectacularly beautiful! Perfect choice.
Wishing you a very Happy 2009!
Perfect. It really makes you feel your experience.
It’s not often one sees hot air balloons from above! Very nice!
You have many wonderful photos, but this clearly was one of your best for 2008. What a fabulous photo — the perspetive, the colors, et cetera. Great choice!
Up, up, and away, Denton! What a thrilling view. I don’t know if you could persuade me to take in this view by any other means. I’m sure my adrenaline would be pumping right along with yours. No wonder there was no doubt in your mind about your choice. I hope when you go aloft in 2009 you have more opportunities to get some splendid shots like this. (and take an extra memory card!)
Happy 2009 to you you and your wife, and I’m sending you good wishes for health, laughter, and great shots!
