    fantastic gliding pictures

    A strange phenomenon in northern australia brings a rolling cloud stretching as far as the eye can see , travelling in from the sea. Its known locally as the "morning glory". It arrives at the shore 3000 ft high and going at 30 mph and can be surfed for miles, but as the land rises it accellerates until the hang gliders can't keep up - and they run out of roads anyway...

    Red bull sponsored an expedition specially to get film and pics of hang gliders soaring this morning glory cloud.

    Great pictures
    ...and here's another red bull sponsered image to help Robgt with his morning glory...

                Fantastic pictures - a sight you will be cherishing for the rest of your life.

                PS : Are those two (naughty)fairies from the cloud ?
