THE BALLOON OVER A CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW 

 NEAR LAMANDA PARK 



9:15 A.M. FEB. 12, 1921, ELEVATION ABOVE GROUND, 225 FT. 

 CAMERA FACED NORTH. 



The orange and lemon groves have the texture of deep green velvet as seen from 

 the air, and the deciduous orchards, shown in the upper part of the picture, look leaf- 

 less in comparison. As the balloon passed over the reservoir (shown in the left of the 

 photograph) the balloon decreased its altitude by the fall in temperature and 1 lb. of 

 sand had to be thrown overboard to bring the balloon back to stable equilibrium.
