Re: Are you tired of the sedate life of gardening?
I'm with you Fran.....what a rush tho', just watching this was so exciting! I can't ever imagine getting up the nerve to jump off that cliff!!! :o :o :o
Re: Are you tired of the sedate life of gardening?
Well I don't know about gardening being so sedate, even at this time of year, but that certainly perked me up! :o :o :o Probably like nearly everyone else, I re-watched it, then looking at the native flora. I am glad the video wasn't just the flight itself. The "trajectory" map was especially informative.
I used to dream I could fly, not quite like Superman, and it was a little wacky (Aren't all dreams?) how I would take off, but it was a lot of cerebral fun, and I always woke up happy. ;D

[glow=red,2,300]WOW!![/glow] He was going "#%^@<':?&*!!" fast!! What a thrill! :D
Re: Are you tired of the sedate life of gardening?
Wow, what fun! but, and there's a but! I don't think I could jump off that cliff either. What am I saying, I know I wouldn't/couldn't jump off that cliff. It's spectacular, though.
Re: Are you tired of the sedate life of gardening?
Holy CRAP, that's unbelievable. Thrilling to be sure. I guess there's little room for error! I'll gladly take the sedate life of gardening.

I think he was just checking out the cliff for future seed collecting.
Re: Are you tired of the sedate life of gardening?
I am not sure those guys think of flowers ;D
I prefere to walk down myself. Much better time to investigate the "native flora" ;)
It is an epidemic here to fly, jump or ski from every summit you can find :o

We have mechanisms to aid in the face of danger, here it so overcompensates as to provide a (?) addictive thrill -- until perhaps - - - splat! Here the risk is great, but the potential benefit is only survival - - - and the rush.
I'll stick with gardening, too.

Trond this is incredible - thrilling. What a unique way to photograph the terrain or a Norwegian fiord. I thoroughly enjoyed it but am not in the least tempted to try it. Fran
