Happy 303 Day!

From what was likely the most “Colorado” set of images I have ever taken. A few years back I spent the morning chasing this Colorado flag adorned balloon along the northern Front Range. It was pretty much a perfect setup with clear skies, the snow-covered Rocky Mountains and of course, the main feature, the hot air balloon.

March 3rd, or 3/3, is known as 303 Day, a day in which we use the original Colorado area code to celebrate the Centennial State. This was probably the most fitting batch of images I have ever taken for the occasion.
