It was a glorious sunny day on Friday and, while on a visit to Kent, found myself without either of the kids and with a little free time. I grabbed the camera with high hopes but couldn’t find anything to take a picture of.
I then noticed the white lines left in the sky by passing jets and tried to get a shot of a passing aircraft. I was staggered at the detail I was able to get on the camera but no matter what I did, couldn’t get a good shot. Shooting a fast moving object using a zoom lens at such a long distance was very difficult indeed and most of the time I simply ended up getting a shot of the sky.
Rather helpfully a glider then flew overhead. It didn’t just fly overhead, it kept circling. This enabled me to get the tripod set up and take this image. I know it’s not the best image but it fired my imagination. I spent most of the day wondering what it would have been like at that height. The view must have been stunning.
I have linked this post to One Dad 3 Girl’s #MySundayPhoto linky (but can’t display the badge for technical reasons).

That is a fantastic photo. Must have been nice to have the time to get the shot you wanted too.

I have always wanted to travel in a glider – looks so peaceful
We live just across the road from a gliding club, so get treated to this sight all the time, love them. I got to go up in one years ago – thrilling #MySundayPhoto
This is fantastic. The blue of the sky is so uniform, it almost feels like a sheet of paper. #mysundayphoto
Fantastic photo, I am never quick enough to capture anything like that. We’ll have to arrange a photo day no children just us wondering around taking aimless photos.
Thank you for linking up
Look at that blue sky, it must have been amazing to be up there, so quiet. Great shot x
I always love looking at planes and imagining that I am in there going home. Lovely photo =) #mysundayphoto
