Postcards From Readers: Balloons in Turkey

The photographer: Larry Anderson of Granite Bay

Behind the lens: I took this photo on a recent trip to Turkey. I was in a hot air balloon just after dawn, above the strange, otherworldly land formations of the Cappadocia region. About 60 balloons were aloft that day, and the scene provides both color and contrast to the fascinating landscape below. — The photographer: Larry Anderson of Granite Bay Behind the lens: I took this photo on a recent trip to Turkey.
