Photo of the Day

Air Traffic

Photograph by Takashi, National Geographic Your Shot

Paragliders stipple the sky above Japan’s Mount Fuji in this picture by Your Shot member Takashi, who writes: “I was shooting from behind the takeoff field so as not to get in the way. I [waited for] the moment when many paragliders gathered in the direction of the mountain—and got this shot.”

The mountain clued me in!

It's a great shot!

first look like bananas, plus darn, I'm fighting my eye infection again.

Flying Bananas!

I would like to try paragliding. Seems like it's as close to flying like a bird that we humans can come.
