Three different folks who are much braver than I would be; they have streamers of jaunty colour, whereas mine would be moist and probably yellow (ewwwwww!)... great collage of shots, Harry, once again depicting these guys aiming right for wherever you are standing! DUCK!

Great series. Last one is a best, though I have to give it to the 1st as well. Wonderful cloudscape with a brave little man.

That sure looks fun.. I like the one on the bottom the best.

This looks so cool to do Harry. I would love to try it...if you didn't have to get in a dam plane and go up in the air to get to this part. lol Excellent captures my friend! The Prisoners of War flag reminds me of a family member we have...

Excellent captures of all of these and you did get very close to the last one.

with rob, yes, the last panel is wonderful. You've caught the jumper almost in stop-motion, where we see he fullness of his banner & chute all flared out as if posing for your picture. And he seems like he's walking in air rather than falling...Another of your from-the-abyss-to-close-up montages, letting us feel the gradual fall of these brave souls, as they get closer & closer to us. And I can't imagine how close you'd have to be for one of these guys to land right near you---you're braver than I am! If it were me, the jumper would be mumbling, "whoa, look at that little guy run!!!" And I didn't even know there was a Prisoners of War flag...I'm grateful to know that. (I know parchuting in war was an immense thing: I just saw an uncle who jumped for the Navy in WWII. He said, "the paratroopers had it even tougher...you can't imagine..." Always a serious undertone in events like these...
