My theory is that the wind is stronger 5-6 meters above the ground.. ? Caroline & I were witching a little girl with her mom and a kite, and we thought: That’s never going to work! There’s no wind! But 5 minutes later, it was flying ๐ฎ
What is no wind for us is at least 7-10 mph after a certain height. The make/paper of the kite too is important, lighter the better on a no-wind day. Lovely pictures, Ksenia!
oh flying a kite reminds me of my childhood, me and my cousins did that very often during fall ๐ now i want one too, haha! and i know a photographer who takes photos from the air with a kite, would be fun to try!
No, I’ve heard a lot about it though.. And I’ve heard that it’s sad… and I try to stay away from sad things because you stumble upon them eventually wether you want to or not….
loved the captures! here we have a god named Vishwakarma, and the day of his worship, everyone flies kites, and the sky is full of them…keep them coming ๐
Beautiful images! I LOVE all those fantastic vibrant colors – so nice!
I remember I tried constructing kites from all kinds of different things (none of which seem very aerodynamic now that I look back on it) when I was growing up. Needless to say it never really worked. Lots of fun, though!

Yes, I flied a kite. But no wind, no fun. Don’t know how they do it without wind in Haiti!!

I am enjoying following your remarkable blog!! Thank you…
Neat photos! These remind of the book “The Kite Runner.” Wrong country, of course, but still a parallel nonetheless.
I love flying kites. In March when the wind blows high in the sky, I find is the best time to try.
I’ve flown a kite! But I suck at it… They’re so beautiful to watch though! =)
this reminds me of the “kite runner”. have you read the book? have you seen the movie version?

it’s a sad story alright, but it’s also a story of redemption. it leaves you feeling good after reading it.
I used to try to fly kites when I was young but I always unsuccessful. Lovely photos.
We often tried but rarely succeeded. It was fun putting together kite kits though and going through the rag bag for material to make a tail.

The kite flier; predecessor to the pilot.
haha! of course you’d think of it this way!
Flying a kite is such a pleasant way to go for a stroll on the beach instead of just baking lying down in the sun!
