What's another word for 'gleaming'?

Writing-related question, darling flist: have any of you ever been on a hot air balloon ride? What was it like? Did you take off smoothly and was the ride bumpy? Was the wind noisy?

Answers on a postcard. Thanks.

Paragliding sounds fun. I don't know if balloons go with the wind as such, but this is an excuse to not include roaring winds, so yay!
