The Paraglider and the Eagle

Before my daughter was born I used to do paragliding. It's a fantastic sport quite in harmony with nature. No noise - real freedom when you are up in the sky. When I saw this contest I instantly decided to create a paraglider with LEGO. Since we first got the DOTS bracelets I wanted to use them for something completely different. And they are perfect to create a paraglider!

I added a lot of small things into the scenery. People actually take their mobiles/cameras on sticks with them and take pictures. And yes - sometimes some birds fly with us. That's always a highlight. The landscape includes a some ruins of an old castle on a hill. Also a wind cone where the paraglider started her flight. A small village, a river and a train. All that is supposed to give an impression on how it looks like when you're high up in the sky. Everything is so far away and it's just you and your paraglider - and maybe an eagle :-)
I had to be creative with the "ropes" as I didn't have enough parts.
