These are breathtaking! What an experience it must be, I can only imagine from these shots. Thank you for these.

Ece , thank you for your comment.

Personally, I will not fly at 3000 meters in paragliding

I always salute the courage of these men and women

In addition, it is cold outside over 3000m, but fortunately they are well covered.

This is even better than the earlier images because it makes me think I am right behind this glider and about to take off into this amazing blue. Cold? What cold? :p

Thanks for the reply

I see you like the cold ... brr brr

I love a little heat but not too much, but I do not like the cold either :D

Looks like you have a very nice set from this adventure. In the last, she looks like another spec on the landscape, like those rocks. But then, we know better.

 

I find it tough to take pictures in such settings where there is so much bright light (the beach is like this too). You've done a good job of controlling the glare. Much enjoyed these.

Ece thank you for your comment :)

Yes , the sky is changing quite even in spring here, and it was windy.

There are bright moments and moments with black clouds coming from the valley !

This girl hesitated to fly.Finaly, she changed her mind and was preparing her flight .She was afraid that there is too much wind !

Yes, I stayed a moment with these paragliders because, as I said earlier, paragliding is flying like a bird.

It's great to fly like this, for human and see the earth from the air,mostly over 3,000 meters, the landscape must be great .... and with an impressive silence.

Lovely and enjoyable series. There's a lovely film quality about the post processing.

 

There is a beautiful ski run down the gully this parapenteur is heading out over. But this late in the season you have to be prepared for quite a long - albeit pretty - forest walk at the bottom.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Henry,

 

Those last two are positively dizzying! :eek: I think you are keeping the best images to yourself as they are getting more spectacular with each post. I love the feel you've captured with these last two. I am definitely flying! ......:) and loving it.

doc these are beautiful.

the 1st for me is so interesting because of the pov, the house in the background...

the rest are really good as well.

you can feel the ride.

Thanks Melissa for your kind comments :)

I wanted to leave the classical framing, and I took the picture diagonally :)

Finally, as you said, it gives an effect of movement

Michael thank you for your nice comments

I intend to return this summer or this autumn for mountain bikes or hiking.

Indian summer is very beautiful in the region

Ece, I try to reproduce the atmosphere of these gliders ready to jump into the void and apparently the pictures seem to please you.

Thank you for your nice comments

No need for tele... There is so much more than meets the eye in that last shot. Thank you for taking us along and letting us feel this magnificent place.
