Paragliders over Scripps Institution of Oceanography!

Paragliders that launch from the Torrey Pines Gliderport can often be seen soaring above the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla!

I photographed several serenely gliding paragliders during my latest walk through the Scripps campus. It was a beautiful sight.

The paragliders are often observed from an ocean overlook near the Ted and Jean Scripps Marine Conservation and Technology Facility. That’s the building in the above photograph.

You can also watch paragliders from the upper portion of the Scripps Coastal Meander trail, whose trailhead is near the same building. To see what I’m talking about, check out this past blog post.

Enjoy a few photographs and imagine yourself looking up toward clouds and blue sky. In the next photo we can see Scripps Pier and the area of La Jolla Cove across the water beyond it…
