Jan and myself had a drive up to Barton-On-Sea Hampshire on Monday afternoon. As you can see it was the most glorious September day.The Barton Cliffs, when weather conditions permit, are a favourite place for Para Gliders. We sat on the grass enjoying the late summer sun, and were treated to a wonderful and colourful flying display. One thing we agreed on, we are far too old, and well past the time, we want to jump off a cliff for kicks. Eddie

Wonderful photos, but I agree with you, at my age I don't want to join in! Hugs, Valerie
...fun to watch, but not for me!
Glorious blue sky indeed!
Stunning photos. I've NEVER had a desire to para glide. I get vertigo and am afraid of heights. But I loved the way you captured the people and those beautiful cliffs.
Hello, awesome photos and a beautiful view. The Para Gliders are brave, I would be scared.
Enjoy your day!
This is a very rare chance to enjoy the sea and the sky at the same time. The breeze of this day gave the tremendous generosity.
I would love to try one of these. :) Seems like much fun to me.
Gorgeous photos! I won't even get on a plane so you won't see me hanging in the air :)
Beautiful photos, oh those blues.
Beautiful photos Jan. I admire all those that do radical sports, I've always been scared to try anything remotely dangerous.
Wow....beautiful. Such an amazing blue sky.
Cool outing!!
I was too old aged five for that ;-)
But it looks beautiful.
Wow, wow and wow. I am too old as well, but refuse to say never...
I had problems finding a receipe for a cake I don´t have to use an oven for.
It´s hubby´s Birthday next week - can you help?
Salty or sweet? Or both?
OH! No oil, either.... he can only have it cold as in salads...
What a beautiful spot for it!
Good to look at; but too frightening to participate in.
God bless.
That's one beautiful spot. Lovely blue sky and a wonderful view from the cliff. I would be staying on the cliff and not jumping off. :)

Oh wow, what a glorious day you both enjoyed! The photos are so lovely. I don't think I've ever been the age to want to jump off a cliff. Thank you for sharing your beauty. ♥
Beautiful photos! I glad you enjoyed your day.
We took the train to New Milton once and walked down to Barton, the children were disappointed not to go in the water as as soon as we got there it got colder! We saw a para glider that day too and in the end our two managed a paddle!

Looks like something I could have tried about 30 years ago before I began falling apart at the seams. LOL

Happy Day to you,
