Friday Night Photos Airborne Edition

Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 08/14/2026 - 5:00pm

Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.

Last month the camera club went to the Torrey Pines Gliderport located along the cliffs of La Jolla. Last time I was there was ten years ago and hang gliders were the big thing. Now it's paragliders. It looks like fun but I don't know if I could run off the edge of a cliff to get airborne.

Hi, Q

@QMS
I haven't been high in months, though being on a cliff edge does give the impression of being high. Thanks for the festive Friday music.

Hi Social

Thanks for another series of entertainment. The passengers going along for the ride look happy, while the drivers look serious, understandably. The expression of the guy above the water looks like he’s thinking, ‘oh no’, I wasn’t prepared to land in the water.

As uplifting as it looks, it is not on my bucket list. Speaking of, which I watched The Bucket List last night, and enjoyed it at least as much as the first time years ago.

On my way out yesterday morning, looking inland.

If you enlarge and look along the railing on the right you will see the Piwakawaka (Fantail) flitting along. S/he is a very small and very friendly bird. The body is 3 inches and so is the tail.

On my way back home looking out over the bay at low tide, and the open ocean beyond.

Cheers all

Hi, janis

@janis b
Thanks for the wonderful views of the bay and the Piwakawaka. Small as it is, I can see it's fantail sticking up. Does the bay have a name and is it on the east or west side of the island?
