The world's largest hot air balloon festival is a beautiful sight

This is the world's largest balloon festival, captured in glorious timelapse.

Held in Albuquerque, the International Balloon Fiesta sees hundreds of balloons take to the sky at once each day of the nine-day festival.

This beautiful timelapse was captured by photographer Knate Myers at this year's event.

There are about 700 balloons involved in the Fiesta, which has been running since 1972. Over the course of 78 acres, enthusiasts launch in wave after wave.
