Hot air balloons rise over Pushkar, Rajasthan. India I started out at 5.30am, walking through the town around the lake, to the sound of chiming bells. Savitri temple crowns the top of the closest hill, Ratnagiri. A steady thirty minutes and I close in on the summit. Turning to look back, I spy hot air balloons gathered ready for lift off. I take out the camera, wait and relax.
