RE/MAX Balloon Rises at Sonoma County Classic
Saturday, July 18th, 2026 at 2:06:42 PM · 2026/Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic
This photograph captures multiple hot air balloons in various stages of inflation at the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic festival. The dominant balloon in the foreground bears the unmistakable RE/MAX real estate branding in red, white, and blue. Behind it, a vivid rainbow-striped balloon, a large navy blue balloon with red flame motifs, and a yellow and purple balloon crowd the frame. The overcast, grey sky creates a flat, diffuse lighting condition that mutes the mood despite the inherently festive subject matter. The telephoto compression from the RF100-500mm lens stacks the balloons together, creating a sense of density and scale.
