Photo: paragliding over Altaussee Lake, Austria

« 3 of 7 »

paraglider hangs in the sky high over Altaussee Lake in the Austrian Alps, while a ferry boat crossing the water appears as a speck far below. "I got this shot from the patio at the Loser-Alm restaurant along the panoramic road leading up into the mountains from Altaussee," says photographer Brooks Walker. "If I ever return, I've promised myself that I will ride that ferry across the lake to see what's on the other side."
