My Home town from 1000m up

It was a nice, 70min flight. I knew it will be a bit turbulent and as usual, the W-NW wind did not disappoint. But I also knew what I have to do to make the flight enjoyable :D After taking off I climbed to 500m. There was still some turbulence so I went even higher. At about 700m I crossed the inversion layer. What a pleasure. With the turbulence gone, I could concentrate in taking some 50 odd pics. Below are a few samples. The flight was uneventful (just as I like it). However, with the sun getting higher and the wind stronger, I knew I will get  a bit of shaking on the way down. Nothing major though. At about 300m I got into a broken thermal. Nothing major once again but for a man like me which hates roller-coasters, even a bit of turbulence is unwanted :D

Another windfarm visit.

The pics below are a few weeks old (taken on the 4th of this month). I just did not had the time to post them earlier. Today the windfarm is almost finished and I will soon fly for a new photo session. Just a reminder - All the pics have been taken with my old Nokia N8 cell phone and are Geo-Tagged.
