Haha, what a cheerful atmosphere! Some of those kites look like they're photoshopped in Smile

All genuine, no photoshop skullduggery. (only for the skewing.) The brightest are probably the newest as they do fade over the years.
Thanks kNox

Haha, I'm sure they're real. It's just that they look like they're shot in a studio with professional lighting Smile

Thanks alessya. I have been going annually for 16 of the 25 years The Kite Festival on Fuerteventura, has been running. Cool
Warm, windy, sometimes wet, but never for long. Big Grin

I would love to see the shot without the rotation, I know it's meant to give it kind of postcard look, but I believe it takes a bit away from the impact of the overall picture Smile

Ok and a bonus.

   

This birdman kite is from a New Zealand kitemaker, and has been around for a few years. This particular one is about 60 feet long or 20 metres.
