A breathtaking autumn scene captures colorful hot air balloons floating above the dramatic Middle Falls at Letchworth State Park, known as the "Grand Canyon of the East." The landscape showcases stunning fall foliage in vibrant oranges and yellows against limestone cliff faces, while dramatic crepuscular rays pierce through cloud-scattered skies at sunset. Three hot air balloons - one yellow with blue accents high in the sky and two multicolored ones closer to the gorge - provide scale to the magnificent 107-foot waterfall and surrounding canyon. The natural limestone walls frame the Genesee River as it cascades through the gorge, creating a perfect harmony of natural wonder and human adventure.
