Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Oldiesmann: So sorry for your loss Carol. Praying for you and your family :( 2022-05-01, 17:13:05

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

I hope i am posting these photos in the correct section. I looked through and wasn't sure but thought this looked the most likely place  :)

I live not far from the downs on the chiltern hills in England, where there is a glider club. Some people also do hang gliding and para sailing off the top of the downs. I took these photos on Easter Monday. Not sure if i would like to try this or not.

Well, I sure wouldn't like to try it.  I've seen them do it and that's nice for them but certainly not me.! 

I think it's fun to watch.

these are good shots.

My daughter has no fear, and I can see her doing this. 

Perhaps in my earlier years I would have tried it!

Looks like a creative and fun way to do great bodily harm to one's self.

Unlike Neil, I have no problem with being unsure.  I WON'T do it.

Neil, do you do this or were you just taking photos of them?

Hope you have more photos to share with us.

I have never tried this before Pat but i wouldn't mind having a go....I have been real close, watching peple get there gliders ready and find it fascinating. I drove over Dunstable downs the other day and there must have been a half dozen or so people flying. But i never had my camera with me  :(

I i ever get to have a go on one of these, maybe Al could be a passenger, as i know you can get gliders with twin seats  :)
