A group of people are gathered around a hot air balloon basket. The balloon above them is partially inflated, showing red and green fabric, with a large gas burner pointed up into it. The burner is actively flaming, creating heat to fill the balloon. Many of the individuals are wearing black clothing, and a few others are wearing high-visibility safety vests. Some people look up toward the balloon, while others are engaged in conversation or observation. The ground around them appears to be grassy, and the sky above is overcast.
