I don't recognize this area of Napa valley. Where is it? (pretty great photo)
Thanks. I believe the runway pictured below is the Napa County Airport.
Oh that makes sense. That's the very front of the valley. Did your balloon float into the rest of the valley, over the city?
This was a while back and I’m not sure exactly. We started further north and were nearing our landing spot when I took this shot. I could be all backwards but I think the valley really opens up north east from here?
The valley runs east to west. The mountains in either side are the north (st Helena side) and south. The airport is at the east end slightly north of the valley.
I grew up there and delighted in the balloons overhead in the morning. I'm terrified of falling but love the balloons from the ground!
