I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

If all goes well,this would be great,but I heard that a lady was paragliding in Colorado yesterday and fell about 40 feet and had to be taken to the hospital.Nice shot.

I love the colors and the way that para-glide-thingie kinda looks like a single parenthesis. I wanna try this, but over water deep enough to keep me from getting hurt (or drowning) if something incredibly clumsy happens. I love the colors!

I fancy it too , but I'm a bit of a wimp in my old age!

This thing has an engine - you can see the blade rotating behind the seat! :)

Nice capture. I'm going to be going on my first paragliding flight (no engine) in a couple of weeks...

Looks scarey but would be lovely to do it!! xx

This is a great capture Carin.

I'd love to do this in theory; in actuality, though, I think those days are long gone for me. What an excellent capture of this brave soul!

A really excellent shot, Carin, but nobody could make me go up with such one. :)
rockstrider
I've never yet trusted one of these things enough to go up in one but it does make a great capture Carin!

Cool. I would be most scared of getting the lines tangling and it taking 3 days to fix!!!!
Cyve
Fantastic capture !
Katraz
It looks great but remember the hardest bit is landing.
Faemike55
Very cool! I want to do this!!!!!
romanceworks
Great shot and that does look exciting. I went for a hot air balloon ride once and all was awesome except for the crazy landing bouncing on the ground in a basket. Ouch!

OMG, a lot better composition than I ever get when capturing these chutists in action, Carin. They just come down too fast for me. Could be this pic was taken from a long distance when it's easier to compose. But what is that round thing he's sitting on? In any event, capital shot, capital!

Looks like fun and I'm sure I would like it, but I don't take many risks anymore, except for everything I eat, LOL!

This is something I'd like to do over monument valley.

Superb capture Carin. God bless.

What fun! :) My best flight was in a two-seater ultralight ... like flying around in a lawnmower. Excellent shot!
moochagoo
Excellent capture but I will NEVER do that :)))

I have 50 and i do not think it's hard to drive engine like this. I would love to do. I ear about people 50-60 can do this easy. Don't wait... If you like go.
