Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport (so they say... - never tried). A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing. This one I found practising by the bridge...

Nice shot
said papomena
Wow, this is beautiful. I like the bright red of a glider against clouds and the blue sky. Sorry I'm late but just came back from vacations.

Once again don't the clouds add so much. This is not anything I would ever do. Looks to scary for me. Great three and I will be on time next week, well actually I've already done next weeks.

Loads of fun - but forget about me doing that! I think I'll stick to the "dangerous" things like diving and motorcylcles, that's enough adrenaline :-) Anyway, I love thsi shot: The clouds, the green of the grass and the bright red paraglider. Very nice!

Another well composed shot with the diagonal line of the hill and the bright red slash of the parachute set off nicely by the luninous mass of cloud. Great work

Looks like fun, but not for me I'm afraid.
said lynncmor
I think it am also the only hill in the proximity of Malmoe. Of where out the Paragleiter should otherwise also start. Here also many fly and I this it's duty will make them around to photograph
