Silhouettes of workers stand out within colourful patterns of hot air balloons being prepared for flight. The vibrant scenes were captured by Ly Hoang Long in Dalat, Vietnam.

He said: “Their operators inflated balloons early in the morning. After watching it slowly inflate, my favourite thing about watching hot air balloons is waiting for a worker to pull the bottom of the balloon into the perfect position.”
