The architecturally interesting Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, sits on a stunning property with views over the ocean cliffs.
(Note: Salk is buttoned up these days due to their COVID- 19 research. They are working on vaccine development, viral imaging and immunity studies. Guards are patrolling and visitors are not allowed. Thank you Salk for what you do).
Next to Salk is the Torrey Pines Glider Port.
A couple steps and you are off the cliff,
soaring,
with the birds,
helicopters and planes,
over the ocean,
far below.
Sailing off into the sky,
seems so freeing, except for the cliffs and rocks below!
Cheers to you from my life on the ground~

Really great content !
Grazie mille დ
Nice! I’ve never seen the glider port. I’ve walked the cliffs and beach many times, though.
That just means you have to visit again!! დ
😉
Oh my God!, looks so crazy but adventures and beautiful at the same time.
Yes! Understand with your ambivalence completely! დ
Lovely colourful paraglider wings!
✨☀️🙏🕉️♾️☮️🙏☀️✨
Thank you Graham & happy you enjoyed! დ
Fantastic shots, Cindy! I love to watch parasailers but I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to just step off a cliff!
Thank very much Clare. I will hang out with you, on the ground 😉
Haha! 😀
I’m with you…on the ground!! Great pictures, as always, Cindy.
There are benefits to being on the ground. You might find diamonds 😉
I loved Lajolla years ago spent time there and now it’s a favorite to one of my daughters.. these are stunning.
You and your daughter being here makes it more special. Thank you very much Kerri.

I think I would much rather thank you Charles, for the kindness that you do დ
Thank you for sharing the information about what they are doing at Salk for our health. A wonderful building too. Thel paragliding images are fantastic.Maybe sometimes i will try to do, by myself. Best wishes, and stay save,Cindy! Michael

:-))
Thank you for the like Cindy. 🙂
I always like and admire you and what you do. It is true დ
I know those cliffs around La Jolla and Torey Pines!! Soaring off them must be an amazing and terrifying experience! Beautiful photos!
Amazing you know these cliffs and so happy you were here. დ
As a huge fan of modern architecture, which also makes great subjects for photography, I was very interested in that photo.
Is that you in the photos soaring though the skies with wild abandon?! Beautiful and inspiring photos 😃
Yes, it is me, and my cat Herbert, flying with wild abandon!
Only you would know დ
Could do with some wild abandon myself! A walk to the supermarket is about as close as I’m getting to that!😷😂
Same here, except the walk to the supermarket is too dangerous for me! My former fun life seems like a distant memory….
Wow…. flying with birds!!
I met a guy who parasails with his trained falcons! დ
Amazing pics as always! This sport is really cool :)! Bye. Kamila
Thanks so much for coming by and saying hi! დ
Wow.
Hi Charlotte. So happy you stopped by & hope all is well with you my friend დდ
The architecture is interesting indeed. It’s a great idea for a condo, protruding balconies to give more units a better view, just like the Salk Institute has with the ocean cliffs. Thanks for the photos Cindy which are stunning, as usual! 🙂
Yes. It would make optimal view condos wouldn’t it. Creative of you Halim, which is also usual დ დ
