Monday theme 'Challenge'

2007.11.12
Is that a smile or a grimace?

He's smiling, is that a good thing?

Up, up and away!

No going back now

Out over the lake




My husband trying his hand at tandem paragliding in Queenstown, New Zealand. My challenge was to take the pictures. It was rather disconcerting when they did a fast steep turn and the woman next to me yelled: "they're going to die!".!! Needless to say, all was fine and he had a great time.

Daryl Great place, Queenstown. The paragliding is awesome... when someone else is doing it! Unpowered flight is always a bit scary to me. You're so "out there" in the elements. The mountains there are aptly named - The Remarkables. Glad all of you and yours came safely home.
