more than a month...


Eagle, sitting on top of a mountain...

It has been more than a month with just short(er) flights. Finally, today in Arosa, the conditions permitted some XC-flying. Even though the wx-fcst called for much better/ clearer weather, after waiting till 2pm the conditions looked promising enough to launch from the 'Arosa Weisshorn'. The route is also somewhat new, as normally I don't turn around near Chur, but try to continue. But with cloudbase beeing so low, I didn^t want to continue and sink out; instead I tried to make it back to Arosa - but due to cloud cover I had to land short.
On the way I took the picture of that eagle.
