Very good version of a photo taken thousands of times. The parachutes form a pattern with just enough variety to keep things interesting, with a line suggesting the movement of the C-17. Side lighting (looks like morning) also helps make this far better than the average parachute drop image.

The jump is the opening exercise of Ranger Rendezvous 2009, a week-long event that provides an opportunity for members of the 75th Ranger Regiment to showcase their tactics and abilities to family members and ranger veterans.
