I've witnessed and captured this 'invasion' of hang gliders on the west coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
A continuous west wind was forced to rise because of the sand dunes there, giving the 'adventurers' the opportunity to 'position keeping' for a relative long time.

It does look as though paratroopers are coming in to land - in broad daylight with colourful chutes :) Beautiful capture of the beach ans invaders. I can well imagine that the upwind gives them all a lift.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I too immediately thought of a wartime beach invasion. The human birds gliding over the landscape makes for a lovely photo, Cornelius.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
That is totally amazing! I have never seen anything like that before. That must have been quite an experience to witness in person. I trust they all landed safely. Not only is it a treat to see the hang-gliders, but the area they are gliding over is so beautiful. The people on the beach must have been thrilled, too. Top notch photography, Mr. C. A keeper for sure.

I've never seen so many so close - how do they keep from running into each other. This makes a great photo Mr. C - lots of color and action.

When you view it full, full screen SEA, they all appear to be sitting down as they glide in your beautiful country.
I have to join the chorus that said it reminds them of WWII.
The lighting and shadows on the beach and in the dunes is so very attractive. Much to see and enjoy.
I was wondering when this was taken.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
What a unique and excellent capture Mr. C. - beautiful scenery to glide into as well.

At the risk of out trumping Raj I was going to say is it D day? but others had the same thought too. Lol
An unusual subject and colourful post, well done C.

Wondering about my miraculous linguistic powers and abilities ?! LOL
At first, ie viewing the thumbnail pic, I thought: SEAS is acting rather strangely with this manipulation similar to another agent SOR [rvdb]. Viewing full size comforted me as to consistency in the works of SOS top agent :)
Love this image, I do!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Very nice capture C. Great scene and well composed. Loved it.
