Soaring Across the Sky

One way to spend a Summer evening in Tungelsta. Gliding across the sky in a Shark Nose paraglider.

Summer Evening Flyover

A popular pastime on those warm summer evenings. Powered paragliding. Probably a nice way to see the surroundings. I heard him come, took the camera and walked up the hill at home and took the photo.

Two powered paragliders in flight

This is what we do for fun in Tungelsta on a Summer evening. Well maybe not everyone, but there are a few people that I know that will take their powered paragliders for spin in the sky every now and then. These guys flew over my home on Monday evening. Clear skies, no wind and maybe 18C.

Farewell To Summer

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.

In Flight

Paragliding is a popular sport in Sweden and in Haninge, and I often see and hear them on warm summer evenings. There are a few different types of gliders. This is a powered paraglider. One of four gliders that I spotted hovering over the old tree in Tungelsta on Thursday evening. As I shot this photo I figured it could be Johan, who enjoys this somewhat dangerous sport, or perhaps his daughter Malin. But on Friday, visiting my barber, another paragliding enthusiast, Mikael told me that it was a few friends of him that were out flying.
