Dallas Kite Festival on the 18th in the Trinity River Bottoms just west of downtown Dallas brought out some monster kites. Some over 100 feet long and not a one of them the ordinary kite shape we played with as kids.

revenant This post was bound to grab my attention. Before finding photography, I used to design and fly (and lose) kites as a hobby. Images 5,6 and 13 are known as circoflex kites. The original design, if I recall, was released by a crazy Dutchman and withdrawn from the web a day later. Too late! As you can see, they're fascinating and beautiful examples of kite-flying. They're also very clever. Thanks for sharing.

revenant I forgot to mention: I really like No. 5 because you've show the structure of this very clever kite, its size and beauty and its relation to the ground (photographing kites in the air is rarely successful - we can't relate them to the kite-flier or the ground). Goes to my favourites.
