Finally lifting this thing off the ground. It's been laying around for quite some time. Like a deflated hot air balloon splayed upon the ground. The cords one by one getting attached between basket and balloon. All set up and just waiting for those first few breaths of hot air to make the one dimensional flat canvas rise to all its splendor. This is the first breath of hot air to enter. Hoping to soar up to unbefore reached heights.

This shot was taken back in the '80s with a Ricoh 35mm w/ Kiron 28-210mm lens.
