My first paragliding flight

As I ate lunch and watched these guys pull the paraglider out on a tow line, I thought that was the jist of it until I noticed they kept going higher and higher....and then at about 2,500 feet above the lake, "Chink!' went the release. I thought, "Wow! that looks like LOADS of fun!!!" So I tried it...Fabulous!! I snapped this image with my wonderful aquaman sandals just before reaching down and pulling the realease.
