Now I forgot about these photos and only just realized I took them the same day and last weeks. Anyway I had taken my 400mm zoom with me to our caravan and noticed they were out paragliding again, this time I felt a bit more prepared for the event
They were taking off the hillside about a mile or so away
There were quite a few in the air
This guy looks like he is flying in a boat
This one reminds me of a shoe
He was turning to begin landing in the nearby camping field
Getting lower making his decent
at times he seemed to rise
then turn again for the final approach
I waited around for a few more like this one to come and land but they seem to fly off in another direction or landed later. I will have to see if I can get some more photos on a better day. This one was grey.
Happy Skywatch

Looks like fun but not for me. :)
Woo-hoo! Great pictures!
Flying boats and shoes, how unusual! Beautiful photos. Glad you had your 400mm with you!
I wouldn't do it but I'm sure it's fun. Great pictures.
Great job with the zoom lens. I find it hard to follow things in the air.
Fun.
Yikes, some may find this fun.
