            New improved stitch from the previous panorama

Stitched Panorama [Group 1]-GOPR0649_GOPR0650-2 images

It has been a few weeks since I did some KAP and this morning in Buenos Aires the light, the wind and the temperature were ideal. I started with the Floralis Generica with lots of space to fly and test the new GoPro 2. And I walked to the exclusive Recoleta neighbourhood as I always wanted to KAP the Cemetery. The challenge is that the Cemetary is in the middle of the city and space to get airborne is very limited with a few tall trees... I first had a coffe at the "Biela cafe" checked the map, discussed with the hostess at Recoleta tourist office and Karina was really nice as we went together to ask a municipal police officer, if it would be OK to fly a kite and take some pictures.... " Sí no hay problema"... Well no problem for the police but trying to get the Dan Leigh R8 Delta high enough to catch some clean wind above the turbulences , and slaloming between trees required either to be crazy or over confident...(probably both!) Everything went well though and this solo session  was really high in adrenaline...
Thanks again Karina, you made my day!
