Many thanks for all votes and comments on my '5..4..3..2..1' upload and, especially, to Walt(waltknox), Kath(cooky) and Peter(handlerstudio) for their wonderful awards - all very much appreciated, as always.SmileSmile

Today's images are also from our Tenerife trip a couple of weeks ago.

The lead image is, in fact, the last in a sequence of shots which started with V1 as this paraglider was coming in to land on a beach close to our hotel.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Great shot….I have never tried paragliding but I used to skydive, it was an amazing feeling to be all alone in the sky.

Terrific captures Richard, they participate in that activity over Tennyson down's within view of our back garden. Never plucked up enough courage to have a go though.

A very good follow up, Richard.
I can't wait to see the shots that you took from the air when you had a go. Wink

These seem to be popular in the alpine areas of Austria and Switzerland, the paragliders launching themselves from the mountain tops. A great set, Richard, love the close-up in the lead 😃👍🏻

A nice sequence of images, Richard, with good compositions and colours. I find the lead is my favourite, it has a look on his face ---- "I hope I make a soft landing!"

Winderful action shots, Richard. Used to know a chap in Dorset who was very adept at this. His envious friends used to call him The Parrot Glider 😀
