I agree with the previous comment!! We actually saw one of these while we were out in Minneapolis...but I just couldn't bring myself to actually go up in it!!
there's a guy around Maysville that flies in something similar. i'd love to catch up with him so i could take a ride. it looks like it would be so much fun. great pics. i especially like the lighthouse. have a great day.
I've never seen ultralight paragliding before. Sort of a hybrid... thing. I've always wanted to try flying an ultralight, but I think I'll stick to the powered hang glider rather than the powered parachute. Cool series though, incredibly sharp!
That really does look like fun. I've been going up in ultralights the past few years and this is definitely a more seat-of-the-pants flight experience. We have always refered to them as flying lawn mowers.
Ooh, that looks like an absolute blast!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun capturing them in photography, I wouldn't be caught dead flying those thing! I rather have my feet planted firmly on the ground.

ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, but I would never do it! Just a big "chicken" here! :)

ReplyDeleteWould be interested in seeing the pictures one could take while flying in that thing, too!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like fun.
ReplyDeleteI dunno! Looks kinda dangerous to me! I think I would rather glide without the contraption underneath! (At least you can land on your feet that way!)
ReplyDeletelove your shots, but it does not look fun to me :-0
ReplyDeleteI love the reflection of the lighthouse on the water!
ReplyDeleteOh, makes me wish I could be out there doing that instead of sitting at a computer!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so simplistic, but I love them! Nicely done--I wish I had the gall to try something like that.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Gorgeous ...
ReplyDeleteit does look like fun....i see some guy soaring the nw alabama skies every summer and think the same thing! :) love the lighthouse photo.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does!
