Looking Down On Creation

Joani and I visited the Hermanus Hobby Fair this past weekend and watched in awe as the paragliders slowly descended and touched down on Mother earth so gracefully. Ever hear the phrase 'Poetry In Motion'?

So, with interests on high alert, we took off to where they launched from - just above Hermanus, along Rotary Way through fields of blooming proteas and fynbos. By the time we arrived at the launch pad there were approx 8 gliders in the air circulating and keeping company with two huge eagles.

We sat and watched as 'ground control' kept strict control over who was taking off and who was landing. Within 15 minutes we were green with envy as 12 gliders were sailing through the air.

One day when we have the time to take things easy we will join a club and learn to 'Look Down On Creation' we decided together.
