You lift off before dawn and the valley exhales beneath you: fields and stone avenues unfurl as the burners stitch light into the sky. The pyramids of the Sun and Moon come into view as silhouettes first, then as weathered faces catching early color — the balloon drifts slowly along the Avenue of the Dead, and the pilot points out ridgelines and plazas as the world below grows sharper.
