My name is Václav Sidorjak, I live in Manětín and I have been doing powered paragliding since 2010, when I graduated the pilot course at Letecká Škola Jožky Káčera. I like taking pictures while paragliding so after some time I created many picture files. Thanks to them I am able to give you a closer look to Manětín and it's surroundings from a bird's-eye view.
Manětínsko is the region of mesas and baroque sculptures. The region of mills, untouched nature and historic monuments. From 2014 there is a dark skies reserve (Manětín Dark Sky Park).
In my pictures you can see changes of the countryside caused by seasonal changes, but also by man. There are many interesting shapes that are clearly visible only from above.
I hope you find my photographs interesting and they will give you an inspiration for a trip. I would like to thank to some of my friends. First of them is Marek Hladík, I thank him for his patience while creating these websites. Next Václav Kozel a great colleage both in the air and on the ground. I thank Jitka Hlousová for help with administration and Petr Koška for service of my flying machine. I thank Iveta Hraňová for translation to english language.
My final thanks to Zdeněk Řehák, Josef Jíra, Robert Hüttl, Tomáš Lauber and Tomáš Zíma, who were present at few of my takeoffs and landings and that is why they were able to take pictures.
I wish you a nice time while browsing Pohledy z nebe.
