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.

don't know about the view from up there, I'm not so keen to go that high - think I prefer my feet on the ground :-)

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

Part of me would like to do this--ONCE. But the rest of me always wins!
