Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The annual Plano Balloon Festival drew folks in by the thousands last weekend, all seeking a gander at those kaleidoscopic feats of floating serenity. Photographer Mike Mezeul II captured it all. Then, between spontaneous bouts of meditation, we picked our ten favorites. Have a look. The final two pictures resemble illustrations, they're just that beautiful.
Now, inhale. Exhale. Repeat.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
