About this scene
Balloon Dawn is an early morning with hot air balloons in it. Striped balloons, some close and some small in the distance, drift across a peach and blue sky above a line of low hills.
The Balloons slider sets how many are in the air, and Glow strengthens or softens the light of the dawn. It is a bright, friendly scene that works well on a TV in a family room, on a screen in a waiting area, or as something cheerful to look at during a break.
