Mangawhai Paragliders soaring in the clouds





We have a few paragliders up here in Mangawhai. I did a photoshoot for them last Summer. Yesterday I took my daughter and her friend to the beach, seeing as it was my day off and there was a group of them flying off one of the cliffs there. Don't know if you would get me doing that, not good when you're scared of heights.

More weekend reflections here :-)

They are always so pretty to watch. We've gone paragliding, where you're attached to the boat. Enough for me.

Cool photo. I like how you composed the paraglider with that amazing cloud seemingly next to him.

Not for me either I think. I do get afraid of heights. Probably the launch would get me, but maybe flying would be OK. I can fly an airplane with no problem. Driving a car over a high bridge is another matter. Fears are like that I guess. - Margy
