Paraglider Circling Ridge in Winter Mist in by a riverbank near Pokhara

Paraglider Circling Ridge in Winter Mist

by Frances Knowles

Thick winter mist rests on the riverbank below, obscuring the water's surface and softening the distant tree line. A paraglider dominates the diagonal space, its colorful canopy taut against the gray sky as it carves a tight circle. The pilot leans sharply into the turn, body angled low to maintain speed through the cold air. Bare branches of winter trees poke through the fog along the slope, their dark silhouettes against the pale, diffused light. The fabric of the wing shows deep folds where the wind presses against it, while the pilot's helmet reflects the muted afternoon glow. A taut line connects the harness to the canopy, pulling straight and rigid against the curve of the flight path. The riverbank below appears as a blurred strip of brown and gray, barely visible through the dense atmospheric haze.
