Skywatch Friday - Better Hurry

Look closely and you will see three paragliders. They were descending near the Beebe Bridge outside of Chelan, Washington. Behind them was a storm cell that was pushing through the area northwest of where they were coming down. A couple of hours after we passed through, there were a few lightning-caused wildfires reported in that vicinity. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be caught up in the sky with that kind of weather. We had thunderstorm warnings most of the weekend so it shouldn't have been a surprise.

Better Hurry!

  1. Although I'd love to try paragliding, only under a clear sky. Yet, I'll bet this was a wild ride.

  5. Beautiful picture, and scary -- we saw a sailboat out on the Lake yesterday while there was lightening and thunder...are they nuts?

  7. I guess they just wanted to get closer to those clouds. What an awesome sky! I'm back in NorCal now...missing the cooler PNW temps.
