Two vibrant yellow hot air balloons float majestically above the dramatic Middle Falls at Letchworth State Park, known as the "Grand Canyon of the East." The scene captures the perfect harmony of natural and human elements during peak fall foliage season. The cascading waterfall cuts through ancient limestone cliffs while surrounded by a spectacular display of autumn colors - brilliant oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows. A historic railroad trestle bridge spans the gorge above the falls, adding architectural interest to the landscape. The late-day sky features soft clouds illuminated by warm light, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this iconic New York State park vista.
