In 2004 we took a 3 month trip to Australia, New Zealand, Fuji and Hawaii.
Queenstown, NZ is noted for being one of the most adventurist cities in the world.
So it was that Diane got all caught up with it and decided she would go paragliding.
So when the opportunity arose she jumped on it or off it -the mountain that is.
The next few photos show the flight.

The smile says it all |
Heading out |
Low over the trees |

Out over the valley |
Riding high |
Turning toward home |

What a beautiful view from up here |

Feet up ready to land |
