I’ve been meaning to create this little post for over three weeks now! I guess that says something to me about my management of my life. Anyway, I have managed to get back to it. Kite day is something the organisation did last summer too and I like the ambition. What organisation I hear someone ask. I don’t know! I think I like it partly as it takes me back to, hm, probably 1979\/80 when I had a phase of making kites (and, related, making up paper lampshades for my then flat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was funny to me, looking down from “my” terrace up on level L here where I live, was that the organisers didn’t seem to be doing a very good job of explaining that kites need wind and that if you looked around down where they were organising things, it would rapidly become clear that there were areas in wind shadow whether of the saddle or of our pretty substantial building. But there was a real diversity of kites and many people having fun which is what matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some images from my aerial viewpoint on the event. You should be able to click on the rather ugly first view of the gallery to be able to step through them in full size for your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
