Looks like something that I might have enjoyed in my youth. You have captured well the solitude that makes these pursuits popular.

You photo portrays the isolation of the person gliding.
Must be a great sensation Janice.

We get many people flying over the cliffs and hills here, pulling the strings to make them go where they want to go. Thank you for your comments.

Looks wonderful (and so does your image!) I can't believe he/she isn't attached to a speedboat, since there is nothing apparent to cause updrafts.....

It must be heavenly to glide through the air. I like the soft colors of blue in your sky and sea.
