HUNDREDS of hot air balloons decorate the sky above Turkey as the rising sun illuminates the spectacular scenery below. Photographed in Cappadocia in central Turkey, the daily balloon tours attract thousands of tourists each year, including photography teacher Scotty Graham. The 53-year-old, of Jakarta, Indonesia, and his wife, Kartika, spent an hour in one of the balloons that dotted the sky. Scotty’s hot air balloon took flight just in time for sunrise and he photographed the incredible views from the basket, floating at a height of 200 metres.
