A Fall From 400 Meters...

For years I have wanted to do aerial photography from a small plane or paraglider, and when a facebook and cycling friend mentioned that his brother was available for hire with a paramotor I jumped at the chance. Michael Gawlik runs Snow n' Dust and we met at Ribersborgstrand in Malmö and discussed a flight over hills of Skäralid to see the fall colors. The weather outlook for the coming days was not good, but the weekend looked promising. So on Friday night with a last look at the weather report we agreed to meet at Skäralid the next morning and take a flight. A good-natured farmer let us use his field for a runway and the result was both a short You-Tube clip and some great images It's an interesting sensation having your feed dangling at 400 meters...
