Hope you'll like it. Thanks in advance for your comment.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

An excellent shot Cornelius. It almost looks as though you were on another glider higher than this one with your camera!! Great clarity and colours.

Well, Cornelius, you have taken us through people on ships, people in planes, people in cities, to people in air. I cannot even think where you will take us next. But, I look forward to it.

Cornelius - A wonderful addition to the People in the Air series. With a beautiful sky as backdrop, the parachute tandem are clearly shown. Excellent contrast control to keep the white parachute crisply seen. There is a bit of chromatic glow around the tandem. Thad

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

I was asked: "What's the attachement of the paraglider and what has its function?"

My image �People In The Air 9� doesn't show however a paraglider because a paraglider has the capability to fly with an upstream wind. This image shows a, so called, �duo jumper� or 'tandem jumper'. These two people are using a �square main chute�. A 'chute' has no possiblity to fly, the gravity will only land the chute. The two jumpers had just jumped high in the sky from an aeroplane. In order for a proper functioning of the �main chute�, the need of a �pilot chute� ('attachement' as mentioned above) is a 'must'.
When you check-out this link, you�ll find the explanation of the functioning of a �pilot chute�.

Regards, Cornelius.
