Running along the ridge of mt Palomar mountain "ridge soaring" - this puts rollercoasters in a whole new perspective. Ridge running is based on the wind and lift coming off the top of the ridge.

If you like Gliders - I also recomend checking out the vignette I shot at the regional glider contest in Warner Springs vimeo.com/772118

    Well - actually it looks a lot wilder than it is, flying is always a very controlled process. (smile)

    Flying is great fun and its always good to have a great ridge - but im pretty sure the "lucky" part must have to do with photographing calendars. ;-)
