It has been years since I last flew a kite. Have you ever heard the saying, ” Go and fly a kite?”

Actually kite flying is fun.

So it was a surprise when I met this man. He gave me permission to take as many pics as I wanted :)

Kites nowadays come in many shapes and sizes.

Just couldn’t resist taking this pic. The plane is flying so low. It is an illusion of course but it seems that kites can fly as high as a plane.

Now, this is what I call a fun looking kite :)

This man is flying a kite. He handles the kite by manipulating the sticks in his hands.

This young boy attached a string to a balloon. He is puzzled why his ‘kite’ can’t fly like the kites he sees the men flying. When was the last time you flew a kite?

This was written on 4th of May, 2009. It was taken at the Kaul Festival in mUkah. I had forgotten about it. Instead of letting it go to waste I decided to post it. :)

    Kite flying’s fun to watch. I photographed kite flying for the first time 2 months ago at Sepang Gold Coast stretch of beach. It was a real challenge tracking that flying object!
