I am great and had a wonderful and amazing Easter with my hubby.
We did go Gliding on Friday and the experience was awesome and magnificent.
I took photos on ground and also when I was 4000 feet in the air, Enjoy.
Photos of on the way to the airfield below. That's the Grampians, the mountains in the background.
Photos Ararat, center of town, below....
This is the McDonald's we stopped at, I loved the big Palm Tree, had to take the shot..
Here is the private airfield pic below... with the Grampians Mountains.
Here is the pic of the two gliders we went in, I was in the first one, the more advanced glider which was larger with wing span of 40 feet.
Here is the pic, below, of the Tug airplane that takes the Gliders up...That is me in that Glider.
We were 4000 feet up and circling around the Grampians, catching thermals and little bit of turbulence. All three Gliders were in the thermal, going around, chasing each other. What an experience, so majestic, smooth, quiet and beautiful scenery.
You see all the sky, mountains, paddocks, roads, paths and everything else you can see in the distance, there were two lakes too.
Here are the pics of me Gliding 4000 feet above once the Tug plane let us go....
We were up there for about 20 minutes. A beautiful day it was too, sunny, some clouds here and there, just right. Just before we arrived the pilots said that it was very cloudy and not clear.
Here are some more pics on the way home...
There were few sheep farms around and wind farms.
Wind farms were too far away to take a good shot, save that for another trip.
If you would like to see some gliding in movies, I really enjoyed this movie "The Thomas Crown Affair".
Well I will leave you to your day, enjoy and be happy for the rest of the week and weekend.
Thank you for dropping by....MonikaROse :)
