I used to fly my kites at a large park in Berkeley. Despite its size, it could get crowded and people would do stupid things like let there dogs off the leash and then ignore them when they started trouble. For reasons such as these my wife did not like hanging out at the park while I flew. Now I fly on the Oregon and Washington coast, and suddenly I have company. Especially at Long Beach WA, where we can drive onto the beach and be as far from the crowds as we want. As you can tell from this photo, there appears to be some unspoken rule about inter-car distance. It's one of the things I enjoy in this shot. I also like the look of the wind shelter we were using this day, it looks somehow tropical on the beach. Which is the only good thing I have to say for it, as it was wholly ineffectual and went back the next day. NIKON D80
