Hot air balloon 'solar eclipse' on a crisp morning

Hot air balloons are a common sight in Menifee, but this is a unique perspective. Laura Garrett's photo taken near Domenigoni Parkway and Leon Road gives us that eclipse feeling as the balloon blocks out the morning sun.

Laura is eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.
