Gerald paragliding: set 1

Gerald made history yesterday when he became California's first (maybe the world's first) paragliding gnome!

Here are a couple of not-so-great pics I managed to get in
flight:



It turns out to be extremely difficult (and nerve-wracking) to
compose a good scene trying to photograph yourself in very
turbulent air. The bad news is my camera battery ran flat right
after those pics. The good news is a friend (hopefully) captured
some action from the ground with her 300mm lens. She promised to
send those pics to me tonight. So Gerald is packed and ready to
move on to Ohio as soon as the those last few pics arrive to add
to his album.
