VACATION - DAY 7: SOARING HIGH

July 20th. I invite you to view this large if you have time.
Took this shot while strolling along the lovely streets of Chamonix. The gliders (there were 2 of them hanging to that parachute (one was probably an instructor) seemed like a hawk searching the ground below for its prey. I took several shot of gliders during the day but I loved this one most for the mountain backdrop which gives added dimension to the height at which they were gliding.
Thank you so much for looking and for your wonderful comments on yesterday's picture.
Cool capture, did you have a go?

I did paragliding when I was in Interlaken last. An amazing experience and your shot captured that feeling of being so small against the giant mountains. Well done.
