"point of view", does this mean it was a helmet camera? Were you sky diving?

Yes Scott is correct this is Adult Eurasian Griffon.
Outstanding!! denivelate: Difference between the highest and lowest points??
1000m denivelate <-- what does that mean? I looked up "denivelate" for a translation, French to English and the translation software does not know what it is. Is it like a kite or a baloon with a camera attached? Great shots - however you got them.
Wow! this picture was taken from an airplane right!
Wow!! Can you write a little about how you got these amazing pictures?
