The Goodyear blimp Columbia, registration number N4A, is moored on the darkened McNary Field in Salem, Oregon. It is night and the blimp is illuminated. I made this image in September 1978 after I got off work at a local movie theater, so it was around 11:00 pm. I set up my tripod on the roof of my car in order to shoot over the chain link fence.
During the 1970s the blimp made regular visits to Salem, flying over the city for a few days at a time. At night it would put on a computer generated light show formed by a grid of lights along the outside of the blimp.
