Parachutists

3 jumped in order to land on a swimming platform in the Hamburg Harbour on occasion of a great feast called "Harbour Birthday". Then came the storm. One of the parachutists landed in the river Elbe, the other two were carried away to a distance of 20 kilometers outside of Hamburg. They landed unharmed, but this was not planned!

Rider on the storm

Is it okay to be riding so high? I don't know anything about paragliding, but this guy (gal?) seemed to be going a bit far. My husband made me notice the dramatic light and the storm. A huge black cloud came sailing in, and before it, driven by the wind, this paraglider. I wonder if they are allowed to be riding so high. And was he in trouble? I do hope we won't hear from him in the news.
-- Most black spots in the first picture are leaves that were whirled about by the wind. --
In the meantime I read that his height was more or less okay, but later he was higher than the cloud, and this is not allowed.
After the rain
The sun came out soon after the rain and painted a dramatic coloured north western sky and a huge rainbow.
