Aerial View of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from Al-Faisaliyah Tower
Edited and reuploaded:
Going through my backlog of raw footage and got this from 2019. Recorded from my work phone. Simply a view of Riyadh from a skyscraper in the center of the city on the last day of November 2019.
Al-Faisaliyah tower is a 267m(876ft) skyscraper that is recognizable due to its globe near the top which is a restaurant, cafe, and cigar bar. It was Saudi Arabia's first skyscraper and is currently the third tallest in the country.

Beginner paragliding in beautiful Tannheim, Austria
Переглядів 752 роки тому
My only flight in lovely Tannheim because I didn't have my certification with me and the gondola staff check, refusing me entry to the gondola the second time I tried. A shame really as it is a perfect place for beginners to practice and learn. At least I was able to sneak on once.
First paragliding flights(and crash) at Germany's tallest mountain
Переглядів 1412 роки тому
My second and third flights since finishing Club Pilot certification. The day was gorgeous but I wasn't. Out of two flights I had the two worst take-off's I have ever had(it was the most shallow run I have used). One landing was good but far from the landing zone and the other was a high rate of descent resulting in a crash.
A Quick Walk Through Verbier, Switzerland with a Thunderstorm

It is a cozy little place right at the main roundabout that serves wine(obviously), snails, and fancy little meals. I got the charcuterie board which had a nice selection of meats but only one cheese, though it was ...

Two Perfect Days in Linkoping, Sweden
Переглядів 2,4 тис.2 роки тому
A quick trip and look about in Linkoping, Sweden. A lovely city that I enjoyed thoroughly. It is Sweden's fifth biggest city with a population of about 165,000. Home to the aircraft maker Saab and a university of about 18,000 students. The university is testing an autonomous bus around campus which is quite hilarious as it trundles along slower than a person crawling, but I suppose we all must ...

2021-Cycling Hungary from Gárdony to Lake Balaton to the Austrian Border
Переглядів 1783 роки тому
An impromptu ride when I had a free week in Hungary. I took the train from Budapest to Gárdony, rode around the Southern side of Balaton Lake to the Austrian border, and then took the train back to Budapest. The weather was perfect and there were no crowds. I didn't have my GoPro cameras or external microphone so the video and sound quality aren't great. My apologies for that.
