Flying High in St Ives


 Turning ---
 The power in his hands -
 With the help of Wind --- Such wonderful to see the Setting Sun from up here.
 Turning to land
 Dropping,,,,,,
 Landed ,,,,,
 Unharnessing  --

 Time for one more flight - I think.
 And Around we go again
 Wind dropping
 Coming in to land
Here I come.



All taken from the Balcony of our Apartment - with my 300mm lens and Nikon D90.

    Two jumps in one afternoon? Did he repack the chute on the spot, or use a different one? It looks the same, but I imagine that it could just as well be two identical parachutes.

    Did you get a picture of the sunset using this method. This looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not sure I would be up to it.

    It must have been so much fun!
    The colour contrast is also great here!
    God bless you!
