Paraglider

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 26 June 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

While on my detour back to the office on Wednesday. I noticed these guys jumping off Lions Head, and para gliding down to where the 2010 stadium is being built. I say guys as they were flying in tandem.

this relays that amazingly free feeling of simply 'soaring' -- so beautifully done! i love the choice for composition here as i often feel that many times, it isn't necessary to 'see' it all... as long as you can 'feel' it all! :) wonderful!

I didnt realise the para glider was so huge - having only seen it from a distance. Its a wonderful shot with the magnificent blue sky. Must be a wonderful feeling to be up there!

Excellent shot. The blue sky and the graphic composition are great. I don't realize exactly his position with the paraglider, he seems to be turning and pulling the low part of the sail with his left hand isn't it?
