Photograph by Takashi, National Geographic Your Shot

Paragliders stipple the sky above Japan’s Mount Fuji in this picture by Your Shot member Takashi, who writes: “I was shooting from behind the takeoff field so as not to get in the way. I [waited for] the moment when many paragliders gathered in the direction of the mountain—and got this shot.”

1. At first, I thought those hang gliders were bananas, my dear Crewleader!

And then I realized that was completely wrong...

The mountain clued me in!

It's a great shot!

And as always, thank you, sweet girl!

3. At first I thought the same Peggy!

You always make me smile!

9. Those top two yellow gliders

first look like bananas, plus darn, I'm fighting my eye infection again.
Like Peggy said our eyes lowered and saw the mountain and all made sense and flowed nicely.

Flying Bananas!

10. Love the tip of Fiji in the background.

I would like to try paragliding. Seems like it's as close to flying like a bird that we humans can come.

I hope you get to try paragliding one day!
