Skywatch Friday No. 53

Hello Skywatchers!
Glad you're on board again!

no copyright release attached or do not provide a link to your site.
Please to resize your images to 800*600 pixel, too. Thank you!

Our today's host is Sunita Rajwade



Before the rains come pouring down, our grey and murky Mumbai sky provides the perfect backdrop for this weekend paraglider.
Saifee Hospital looks more like a luxury hotel than a place for rest and recuperation.

Please do read the rules, before you post!!!!

Happy SWF!

Leora said...

Well, I would never get to be no. 6 if Mr. Linky worked right away. It does have its advantages.

I love how everything except the balloon in the photo is rather gray, including the people. Makes the balloon all the more special.

Guy D said...

Awesome shot of the paraglider, thanks for sharing. Later tonight I'll be visiting as many entries as I can, hope everyone has a great weekend.

Cheers
