Berkeley Kite Festival


 




Images from last year's trip to build anticipation for this years Kite Fest...
Did you know that the Bay Area can be rather chilly in July?







the wetland preserve 
armada of kites ahead
 in a steady wind





 Attempt to maintain position in the persistent wind






Fresh air and adventure appeal to every generation
The multitude assembled below watches
contests, pageants, and sundry kite legerdemain







Cephalopods command the scene






Strange gods before me





In the aqueous sky
They scrutinize your scrutiny






Pony rides go counter clockwise in time








On rolling hills enthusiasts populate the firmament







Hopping from kite to kite
One can get almost too high





Relax ... breathe deeply...
peak effects are temporary







This little retinal snake sent goosebumps
Perhaps the solid bank of frigid fog had something to do with it
 Berkeley hills completely occluded






They'll be looking for you to join them this year
