Rare Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, which look like cresting surf waves, viewed from approx 5,500m up the side of Annapurna while on pilgrimage. In the foreground are memorial stupas.

Witness American #skysurfing pioneer Sean MacCormac become the first to ride the San Francisco Bay Bridge cables, jumping from 5,500ft, descending along the bridge, and landing safely on a floating barge > win.gs/4oSYKhE #skydiving #skysurf
Spotted a fire way out there. Probably controlled burn but could be anything. Shot @ 1100 feet above ground level. #fire #drone #aerial #skysurfing #smoke #wxsky

An incredible way to see out 2024. #SkySurfing is wonderful! Edited by @northernjim.bsky.social All proceeds go to Juvenile Arthritis Research Project. So many talented authors and illustrators in these pages
My personal joy was the great Jo Byatt, she drew the family to be like us! Made my year!
Such a great collection The Dirigible Balloon from editor @northernjim.bsky.social #SkySurfing is full of wonderful poems for children with gorgeous illustrations. Thank you to Fintan Taite for illustrating mine. I love it!

Getting ever closer ... organising contributor addressed envelopes so that copies can be sent as soon as we are able (66 poets 22 artists ... looks like early December). Test print in the process of being ordered (paperback and hardback sample).
Can't wait. JH

Really enjoyed chatting to @adamcrowther.bsky.social this week about #SkySurfing and writing.
There are so many great writers to discover on BBC Upload. Go on #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity - send something off - it’s really easy.
