The picture below was taken from my bedroom balcony at about 8am yesterday morning

The image is made up of 8 photos that were stitched together with Canon PhotoStitch.

I’m not saying that this is great expressive photography, after all it’s just a matter of be there and take the picture like most other landscapes (or skyscapes if you want to be picky). For me this is a record of another beautiful scene I’ve seen. It’s all about “be here now”.

Over the last month my wife and I constructed a new kite.

It’s called a double star and we got some very well prepared plans from this website

The material is ripstop nylon and the poles are made of carbon fibre. The kite is 2M across.

We finally got to fly the kite on the Easter weekend. Naturally the wind speed dropped (as is the way of the world) as soon as we brought the kite out and it hasn’t been windy enough to fly it again for the last three weeks.
