Bali Kite Festival

Here is a photo I have always liked, but haven’t had a reason to scan it in until now (a SE Asian travel magazine just bought the story)

These kites are like hawks: ungainly on land, powerful and fast in the air. They can easily lift 2-3 men off the ground in strong winds, which is why they are flown by teams of more than a dozen.

You can see several other photos here. The color is courtesy of Kodak slide film. Yummy.

    Hi Mone,
    Sorry, I don’t have contact info for the festival. But I imagine you should be able to find something on the Googles about it. Do go!
