Residents carry statue of Buddha and paper lanterns during a balloon competition in Taunggyi, the capital of the southern Shan State of Myanmar late November 1, 2009. During the annual Tazaungdaing Festival, traditionally hand-made hot air balloons are released into the sky. The competition judges balloons based on beauty, altitude achieved and the amount of time they can spend in the air.
