Farewell To Summer

Late Summer Para Gliding
Para-gliding is a popular Summer sport/pastime in Sweden. And in Haninge. I often hear them before I see them. One good spot for take off and landings is actually the fields near the old tree. Today is supposedly the last warm day for us. The Summer has been much warmer than usual, and longer. The only bad weather was during the World Cup when people were indoors watching the football. I got this shot earlier in the week on a warm late Summer evening. Shot from the hill at home.

I saw your comment on Sharon's site about colorful socks. That must be how you get so many people to stop, pose, and tell you about themselves.

Ha ha, maybe you are on to something here...

Sounds like you had a much better summer than a lot over there in the northern hemisphere Steffe!

Vad bra bilden blev med de suddiga lövträdsgrenarna i förgrunden. Det ger både djup och perspektiv åt bilden och man får en uppfattning om den märkliga farkostens höjd. Bra bild, helt enkelt!

I can't recall seeing paragliders here, Stefan.

Nice composition. We don't see that often around here. Maybe not enough updrafts.

At first, I almost missed the para-glider...
