She has experienced "touch-and-go" situations with birds at high altitudes in the Himalayas, Australia and Patagonia. Being carried into the stratosphere, she still finds time to marvel "as the reds and golds of the desert glow, the long shadows of the crags retreat, scurrying away from the heat of the day". Forty-three photos, mostly in colour.
