Taken on the road, in Colorado Springs, Colorado in August of 2008. The unexpected sight of the bright yellow balloon against the dingy road and drain, practically demanded that the photo be taken! The photo was taken with a Nikon D50 at a shutter speed of 1/320 and an aperture of F9, along with a Nikon 18mm-55mm lens, set at 18mm. The contrast of the actual scene is truly represented in the photograph.
