Intrepid new aerialist
photographer Sharon Fak took to the skies last night during the
2010 Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival media launch. Clear skies, little wind and low humidity made for a perfect night as
Sharon took a ride on Good Greeph, owned by Jim and Theresa Phelan
and sponsored by Hicksgas.

The first important thing is to get the
balloon upright.
At launch there is a bit of a traffic jam.
The balloons head toward the LCU campus.
A clear, grassy spot is always best for
landing.

A gentle landing at LCU.
Using the "squeezer" to get all the air out of
the balloon.
Wally is all right. It just looks like he had
a hard landing.
