Fiesch, Switzerland
Where your gaze seeks the next horizon.
MY MOMENT
When a dream took shape beneath me.
I had long dreamed of flying above the Aletsch Glacier. In Fiesch, the moment finally came. After launching, I climbed in a thermal—and there it was: that vast river of ice I had pictured so often. My dream had suddenly become a landscape. I carried the image with me, pressed the speed bar and flew on cross-country. Sometimes a dream fulfilled is not an ending, but only the beginning.
