Check the map view for the location ;)..

Located at the edge of the Royal National Park, Stanwell Park and Stanwell Tops are well known for their beautiful coastal and cliff views, beaches, picnic areas and great surfing beaches.

Stanwell Park was possibly named after the village of Stanwell on the south side of London. It was also known by the Aboriginal name "Little Bulli". Bulli means "two mountains" and referred to those on each side of the village.

Bald Hill, Stanwell Park is a world-class hang gliding site with paragliding, tandem flights and instructors. Be blown away by some of the most spectacularly beautiful coastline on the east coast of Australia on a glider or flight.

On top of Bald Hill is a memorial to Lawrence Hargrave. The memorial is dedicated to his pioneering work in aeronautics, a lot of which he carried out in Stanwell Park. It is a beautiful lookout from which to admire the pristine coastline stretching out below.

The surrounding area offers some fantastic walks and natural attractions. Pack a picnic and make the pleasant walk to Kelly's Falls. Check out the historical Aboriginal Carvings on the trees in Peace Garden, just a short walk from the Stanwell Park Train Station.

Visit the Symbio Wildlife Gardens to see native, exotic and farmyard animals in a serene garden environment. You are able to pet some of the animals and there are demonstrations daily.

Hi Alaettin,

Great shot!!!

Sharp and fine details image.

Excellent composition.

Best Regards,

Mário

Lovely photo, Alaettin - that yellow really is incredibly vivid and stands out so well against the blue sky and the white clouds. In fact, the colours throughout are strong. Nice shot and the orange chute adds a little extra that lifts the whole scene. Very nice image.

Superb adventure well captured Alaettin. The viewer gets a sense of excitement from the ready-to-take-off action from the cliff. The onlookers provide additional interests. And of course, the sky and the scenery is attractive. Well done. Danilo

Hello Alaettin.
Really nice photograph with great contrasting colours. I love the composition with two triangles (sea and grass) on the bottom. Lovely clouds on the sky.

Wonderful contrasts AK. Well composed with very good detail. A slight lens distortion on the horizon which some lenses produce. Well done,

Merhaba TasmaniaC,

güzel ve başarılı bir çekim. Sarı paraşütün kattığı renk hareketliliği güzel, ayrıca uzak fonda olan kırmızı olan da karene güzel ve tam yerinde sığmış. Yeşil çimler mavi gökyüzü ve masmavi deniz bütünleşmesi bri harika.
Her açıdak güzel pozlama.
Tebirkler ve güzel foto paylaşımlarınız için teşekkürler.

Hi Alaettin


This picture has to do a lot with the landscape of my city
where the personal polishes of paraglide, the scenery is similar
the only difference that I have with this is that to the bottom of the picture
we have the outline of the island with your buildings!
Beautiful the colors and the place!
Greetings!

Hi Alaettin, Well timed to show this sports action moment. The full chute with bright colour is superb. The second person ahead shows the scale of the cliff and therefore the extreme nature of this event. TFS. Murray.

Hello Alaetin,

I like this photo--full of dynamism
and action. The POV couldn't have been
better to appreciate all elements in
your excellent composition.
Regards,

Maryori :)

Hello Alaettin,

Good click at the right moment. I like the composition. The yellow in this shot is really amazing and give a good element. Well done. TFS

Hello Alaettin! Very nice action scene with a good compostion and great technique, well done, thanks!


Mario

Beautifully captured. This is a tourist-brochure shot!! Terrific colours and beautiful use of the polariser to draw that deep blue from the sky. Great timing.
Rew

Alaettin,

fabulous pic..
what attracted me to this one was, one, the yellow against the blue sky, and two, the smaller orange parachute at almost the same angle as the larger one.

Beautiful composition!!

Merhaba Alaettin abi.
Kadrajdaki yerleşim gayet iyi olmuş bence, ufuk çizgisi biraz eğri gibi bir his uyandırıyor fakat sanırım bu yeşilliğin bulunduğu düzlemden kaynaklanıyor.
Polarize filtre ile gökyüzü çok güzel bir hal almış, ellerine ve gözlerine sağlık.
Saygı ve selamlarımla, paylaştığın için teşekkürler.

Yasin.

Hello Alaettin
Light is gorgeous here, I can see you handle it very well. Colours are beautiful, the greens, yellows and blues contrast so well. We have these guys at Muriwai taking off all the time, the scene is well captured.
Also the detail is second to none.
Regards
Jim
