Since I didn’t get these pictures up last year I’m not even going to bother trying to do much to fix this up. These are many of the pictures form the 2007 version of the Smithsonian Kite festival.
Kite Festival 2007
Love the flags above. Well, I love the idea of them. I just can’t seem to compose a good photo of the images. I played with the color in all of these pictures except those. They were so vibrant already that there was nothing I could do to them.
So this is one of the coolest kites I’ve ever seen. What else is there to say. It’s the king of thing that makes me wish I could make one.
The dragon kite below stretched on for ages. There was someone there who talked to me about it since the Chinese guy who made it didn’t speak English. I wish I could remember the specifics. I was told how much he had been able to get up in the air at one time. It was impressive. Even the length you can see is impressive.
