These guys fascinate me but not in the usual sense. I love their kites which are nearly always colourful, and I am fascinated by their shapes and the spaces they create between kites.

I really love these John. A slightly different approach, focussing on the artistic nature of the kites themselves rather than the action below them. Beautifully exposed and the sharpness and colour are spot on. I expect to see copies of these adorning the walls of one of your local surf shops.
Brilliant.

Lovely Images. The first one is my favourite, to me it is a piece of art.

Nice kites - i like the way they line up together in both the shots - as if they are involved in some kind of dance.

Thank you for the nice comments. Any windy day sees them out in force and it is just a matter of waiting for the kites to cross your lens. Keepers would be about 5% I think.
