A hot air balloon is being prepared for flight outdoors. The balloon is white with colorful geometric patterns near the top. It is tethered and the burner is actively firing, sending a large flame into the balloon. A wicker basket is suspended beneath the balloon, and four people are visible inside. Two people are in the front of the basket, with one waving. The other two people are in the back of the basket. The balloon is on what appears to be a paved surface, possibly a parking lot or street, with white markings on the ground. There are cars and trees in the background, and the sky is visible, with clouds and hints of sunset colors.
