Flying Boat

I was sitting at my computer last night editing prom photos when a BOAT went FLYING by!! It's an ultralight built by a local guy. He takes it out during the summer months. It's always an attention grabber! I'm pretty sure I've posted a shot of it on here before but I can't seem to find it (and I'm too tired to look too closely!). Here's an article on the machine: http://www.timescolonist.com/news/campbell-river-man-jets-around-in-flying-boat-he-gave-himself-as-a-50th-birthday-present-1.23028

Here's a You Tube video from a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBWWwz4dCs0

[Lisa Poland]

Very cool!

[Lou Ann]

Wow! Very cool!

[Milanie]

I imagine you did a double take the first time you saw it! That's so neat. Love the view there.

[Babs]

How unusual, this is something you don't see every day.

[Kathy]

You certainly have a great view from your computer and this would be something fun to see.

[Connie Little]

What a view. That would have taken you by surprise when it came flying by.

[gloria jones]

Great capture and framing :)

[*lynn]

[summerfield]

[Taffy]

Oh my!! Right out of a movie fantasy!

[Anita Campbell]

That be a surprise to see that fro your window, for sure.

[Lynda McG]

Wow, and it can go 50mph! Impressive ....

[Diana]

Amazing what one can all see looking up!

[Corinne]

so unusual !

[Denise Wood]

Fascinating :)

[Peter H]

Haha! Great.. Reminds me of my youth living by the River Thames. On summer days we used to see a CAR navigating along the river (again, a home-built conversion of an open-top Triumph Stag, very much in the James Bond style!). Well captured.

[Joan Robillard]

I bet there are people who do a double take when they see it.

[haskar]

Well caught.

[elkehochban]

Well, if planes can land on water, why shouldn't boats fly? Great catch!

[Sally Ings]

Makes you think you are in a fantasy story. Very cool watching the footage of him landing

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Judith Johnson]

What a great find and nice framing too.

[carol white]

Well spotted and captured

[Pat Knowles]

Gracious you would look twice at that flying past!

[Leslie]

wonderfully captured in a moments notice and I love that you got your little tree in the shot.

[Fiona Brown]

I like the colour of the sky and the way the microlight is framed by the structure

[Jane Morley]

What a view! Such a good capture too.

[JackieR]

They are great to watch aren't they!

[Lisa Pouncy]

That's amazing xx

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow, cool capture.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Cool shot

[Chris Johnson]

It must have felt so strange to see this boat flying. It still messes with my head looking at it in your photo, haha. Great shot!

[Jessika Panteleios]

How Cool! Wonderful composition and evening tones.

[Michelle]

Awesome capture :)

[tony gig]

Great lines and shot.

[Jennifer]

how cool!

[Lesley Chisholm]

Wow, no doubt people do a double take when they see that thing in the air. You did well to get the camera out quickly.
