A high altitude balloon spotted floating in the sky Saturday from Quemazon. The photos taken with a cannon 300mm zoom lens show how the color of the balloon changes as the sun sets into the atmosphere, turning from white to orange and then a final pearl color before the sun goes behind the earth and no longer illuminates the balloon. These balloons typically fly around 100,000 feet in altitude. Photo by Jeff Bloch
