Plymouth Wheel

The view of The City Of Plymouth taken from the wheel on Plymouth Hoe.
The view is spectacular, but the ride on the wheel was even better. When the wheel started to turn, the pod I was in started to rock , the adrenilin started to flow, my stomach began churning. As the wheel turned and went higher the exitement grew. I could see all of the city, out to sea and all the way to Dartmoor. The Civic Centre and the Holiday Inn look so tiny from here, considering when I was stood at the top of these buildings the viewpoint seemed so high. The experience was amazing, the wheel turned and then came to a stop. It was over all to soon I'll have to go again.

flying high

This is my one and only time of gliding like a bird.
The feeling I had when doing this was terrific, it gave me a great sense of freedom.
What was amazing was how safe I felt.
I was so excited as I looked down at the people below on the beach, the view was so different from up here, I could see forever.

Kite Flying

After looking at Scott Heafner's work I was inspired and decided it was time I tried to fly a kite. Trying to fly my kite made me realise how difficult it is to do what Scott Heafner and lots of other people do for the sake of a "birds eye view".
I found it difficult to get and keep the kite in the air for any length of time. To think that to put a camera in the air adds weight and instability to the kite and it often takes more than one kite. The camera then need to be aimed and fired.
