Photographer’s Note
maybe you already saw this shot on TE : my co-traveler posted it a few week ago (with a note saying he was not the author) and removed it when i entered TE, as i am the photographer.
it is a paragliding area, you are supposed to jump and it is 800m high above the river!! (saint laurent) Actually, i took the photograph but did not have the opportunity to jump this time...

Brrr... Ca donne vraiment le vertige. Pour ma part, c'est clair, je ne saute pas !
Très chouette ce point de vue, et original, qui met bien la baie en valeur ainsi que la hauteur du paysage. Belle lumière dorée (bien qu'un peu cramée à droite, d'ailleurs j'ai l'impression que ça penche un peu à droite aussi, mais ça c'est moins gênant, on peut imaginer que le vent s'est déjà pris dans notre parapente et qu'on a du mal à rester droit).

Hi Crepet.
I would not jump. I have never practiced paragliding before and this is certainly not a place to start such a sport.
But, once you are over the edge and feel that all is under control it must be a tremendous feeling.
Wonderful perspective. The land formation leading into the water looks like the head of a dolphin, by the way.
Good shot.

I would jump but it might take me a few hours lol. Good shot. The colors are great, the water adds to the picture. Nicely done :0)

Very nice pic, very nice trip too. I still have some vertigo just thinking about that. Brrr. The pic doesn't show how much wind there was, it seems so calm.

Je viens de la gaspésie et depuis que je suis tout jeune je passe devant Mont-St-Pierre où je regarde les delta planes...
Mais je n'avais jamais vu d'en haut... bien joué !

Belle photo, les couleurs sont très belles, la luminosité du soleil bien préservée. C'est bien d'avoir conservé les détails du village en bas, qu'on puisse voir les maisons. Je connais bien ce coin pour y être passé, mais en bas, sur la route....
J'y avais vu plusieurs vols de parapentistes....

Bella foto! C'è l'idea del salto, direi molto realistica, fa venire le vertigini!
L'immagine è un po' spelacchiata sulla destra ma... non si può pretendere tutto!!

Très belle photo de Mt St-Pierre, c'est impressionnant vu d'en haut, cadrage très bien fait, bravo.

To jump from a place like this should be a unique experience, Nathalie, but I don't know if I would do it!...
Anyway, this is a fine photo with all that light coming from the right and certainly a fantastic place to see like you were a bird or a plain...
