“Look up!” they said.  So I looked up.  And realised that

looking up in the forest

can be  different to looking up in the city.  Except, it isn’t. Not really.

Being on the other end, being lookup up at, sort of, can result in strange effects of the brain.

I’ll stick to looking up.  Even on clear days, the sky may offer something to see.

19 microlight d

We’d been hiking for three days between 2000 and 3000 m altitude – which is the only reason I can give for taking not more photos of this amazing sight (I have exactly 4 shots) of microlight paragliders.

19 microlight a

Where I live, there are mostly the motorised microlight pilots.  The motor announces their approach so I often have time to grab the camera in time.

19 microlight c

Higher up and further away, almost mingling with the clouds, still light as a feather.

19 microlight b

And sometimes their flight leads them into the light of the setting sun.

and my lantern is walking with me.

These were taken on 11 November – the day when in many areas in Germany children are celebrating St Martin with a lantern procession.  It’s a predominantly catholic feast and it has been in the news during the past years because in some nursery schools they have started calling it simply “lantern festival” or “festival of lights“.

The title are the words of one of the songs that are sung while walking with the lights.
