Nice Photos.

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.

Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.

Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.

Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:

I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

How rich must you be to do this:

Yep, an Aston Martin rally car! Sounded soooo smooth too.

No! It was the Richard Burns Memorial Rally at RAF Marham, Norfolk. It's on again tomorrow. The 2008 SWRT Impreza is car No.1, driven by Markko Martin. Not a bad little day out.

Did you fly solo or tandem? I've done the tandem experience over the Austrian alps, an amazing experience. I would like to learn to do it solo, but it's quite a commitment. Having said that I'm currently learning rock climbing and am booked in for a mountaineering course in Scotland this winter, so maybe paragliding next summer, who knows?

gary,
solo ? i wish......by all accounts you cant go solo unless you go through lengthy training and also for insurance reasons they wont allow it.
so i went in tandem with a good experienced flyer but you get to enjoy the same excellent view during the flight.

Keeping to a mountain theme, here's some beech trees growing on a pretty steep slope in Tuscany. It was a suprise to see just how well they were growing out of the cracks in the rock!
