I remember as a kid standing on the beach in front of our holiday house in the Transkie with my dad,watching a group of micro-lites zooming around the sky above.They would do skirmishes down the coast before returning to land on the beach much to the dismay of the cows and tanners alike.I had always been fascinated by the complexities of flight, but they seemed to do it so simply and without fuss.
I remember thinking to myself "Could it really be this easy to fly?"
We walked over to take a closer look and as the propeller started slowing down and the high pitched buzz subsided my dad looked at me and said some words I will never forget.
"If you want to fly, use a plane, not a lawnmower with wings!"
When it comes to taking pictures I must say I agree with his sentiments."If you want to take a picture,use a camera, not a phone with a lens",but that being said sometimes you just have to use what you got and hope it gets you where you want to go and this time it happened to be the awful camera on my phone.
