20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Facing Death
I named this image "Facing Death" because the paraglider is soaring in front of one Europe's deadliest mountains, the Eiger. Taking a gondola ride from Grindelwald, Switzerland to the top of one of the adjacent mountains, I was able to capture this image just below an observation deck.
