This past weekend, I went paragliding for the first time. It was a “tandem flight” off Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mountain. The weather was perfect: blue skies, warm sun.
I was in the first group to go up. It was beautiful up in the air – very mellow and serene. I actually had hoped for a bit more “extreme adventurous”… but maybe next time. 🙂 I did seem some wicked looking spirals from other paragliders.
Some photos:
The dude on the far right was supposed to act as “ballast”…
….but the wind was so strong I just popped right up…
looking up..
looking down…
looking back…
how in the world did you take those pictures? were you holding your camera? seems like i’d be scared of dropping it…
Camera strap was definitely around my neck. Only problem with that was, when I tried to take a self-portrait, I couldn’t get the camera far enough from my face. So all of those shots look directly up my nose. 🙂
