Sketching from the sky

Dessiner depuis le ciel de l'Aveyron des villages perchés, des forteresses imprenables, des églises romanes, un patchwork de parcelles bocagères, les somptueuses gorges du Tarn et l'incontournable 
Viaduc de Millau…
 
c'est un rêve devenu réalité grâce au tournage d'une émission de TV, et à bord d'un Sky Ranger du club de Cassagne-Bégonhès piloté par Jo Astruc.
L'album complet de la bonne vingtaine de croquis réalisés lors de ces deux journées inoubliables se trouve ici sur Flickr
A dream that I had since a long time came true: to sketch from the sky. At the beginning I thought that the best aircraft for this occupation should be a balloon or a paragliding. The opportunity to sketch from an ultralight was given to me during the shooting of a TV broadcast.
 
I sat on board and had an amazing tour above fortified cities, romanesque churches, wide canyons, met vultures and kites in their private spaces and saw the Viaduc de Millau like never before. The best of all, is that had the time to make more than 20 sketches from these two unforgetable days. The album of sketches are on my Flickr Stream.
