I went with a group of over 30 members of my hang- and paragliding club to northern Italy to fly one easter. We stayed and flew near Bassano. Here are a three photos.
- Bengt Höök, a friend of mine, launching his hang glider at a mountain slope.
- Watch a paraglider launching at the same site as my friend.
- There was another nice launch site with a steep ramp for hang gliders and a pilot dedicated café. It was a conguested and social place.
A view from a wing trike piloted by my friend Tord Olsson across the flatland of Närke, Sweden.During the flight we encountered the beauty of the Vättern archipelago and the sun was setting...
This one I took on a several hour long flight at the Åre mountain in Sweden.
In Lökken, Denmark You can experience the view of ridge soarers at sunset on the beach.
This is me after release from a tow launch from a small gliders´ field at Gammelbo, Sweden. The other one shows me on my first glider when we were scooter towing on a winter lake.
Some people power their paragliders and can climb as fast as 3 meters per second!
Here You will find some images from which I have removed the background.
