Ron, did you get to paraglide? any more shots, nice way to frame the shot and show height. btw how was Turkey? I'm in Germany and wondering what to do for Spring Break. Croatia maybe, but Turkey, never crossed my mind.

I have been going for years to Turkey I like it a lot, I go to a place called Olu Deniz, there is a lot of Paragliding there, I think they take off from a mountain that is very high, I will attach a photo of them very high, they all land on the beach. In October they have paragliding championships, not seen the event but have been there before and seen them practicing.
I haven't done it myself, there is a lot of tandem paragliding. I have met a lot of people that have done it, they say the journey up the mountain is worse than paragliding down.
This is taken at maximum zoom with my lens 28-300mm

Jigger, I like this shot much better. That big puffy cloud makes for a great background.
