The rice fields of Tu Le are exceptionally beautiful at harvest time, especially from a high vantage point. Some photographers climb trees to capture their subject; others find it necessary to hike up mountains. But one has found a way that provides both a great vantage point for pictures and a simultaneous sense of exhilaration: the parachute.

Below is a series of pictures by Thang Soi, a member of the Vietwings Hanoi Paragliding Club.
