Got home from work today and these guys were playing follow the leader, they follow the ridges and catch the lift like we used to when hang gliding. I see a lot more of them lately since the landing areas around here are limited and difficult to fly a kite to.

These guys take off between those two towers and within a minute they are 100 feet above the tower. There is a storm coming in later tonight and the wind gets really good before it moves in,steady and clean(no gusts or directional changes)
