After almost an hour of inflating, The Cathedral balloon finally takes shape and becomes ready for flight during the 2016 Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, Pampanga. The hot air balloon becomes buoyant because the heated air inside has a lower density than the cold air outside it. | Photo by Vida Lacano, INQUIRER.net

Make no mistake about it–hot air balloon “Boy” is actually already thousands of feet off the ground! Imagine riding one of these balloons, carried up in the air by a gondola secured to the balloon. At the Fiesta, you can ride the daily balloon lifts and experience floating around the cool morning air while enjoying the scenery. | Photo by Vida Lacano, INQUIRER.net
