Francois Dumas (EuropeRides)'s popular Airplanes photosMy all-time passion is aviation. Wanted to fly since I was 5 years old. Another passion is the mountain world... high, granite and snow covered peaks, lush green valleys... and everything in between.
Oh... did I mention my BMW motorbike???
So what do I do with my company, Silver Cloud Publishing? I write about flying in and over mountains, my passion for flight simulators, publish add-on software for MS Flight Simulator, and try to help others enjoy these things as much as I do. And I make photographs.... lots of them. On this site you only see a couple of samples. <b>Some of them you can even BUY !! </b>
And when I am not hiking, riding, driving through - or flying over - mountains, I run my software publishing, marketing and management consultancy company.
