Powered Paragliding

Great weather this weekend. Very calm, blue sky, quite warm, great for the outdoors types. Like me, and perfect for the powered paragliders. Spotted them at two different places yesterday. These photos are from Välsta in Tungelsta. Near the old tree, and I did manage to get one snap of the tree with a paraglider. Press here to see that one.

Learning to fly

It's Saturday so I made my way op to the old tree at Välsta. There I met some of the paragliding instructors on a 4-wheeler on the path. They were still practising on the ground, so I decided to return one hour later. And by then they were flying. Looks like a fun sport.

A new winter sport

On my winter promenade this afternoon, up to the old oak at Välsta, I could see the paragliders circling in the sky. I only had the canon ixus with me so this was as close as I could come. It was quite a cold day -5 when I took these photos. Last time I met the paragliders here was back in July.
