| This past weekend was the Family Day Kite Festival in San Francisco. Interestingly it actually goes for two days. I had never been, so a few of us went over to see what it was all about. Coming from Berkeley and the famous Berkeley Kite Festival, this one was rather small...okay, it was small by most standards. Of course one of the main limitations is that it takes place at the Marina Green in San Fran. It's a small park, but it has a fantastic view of the Golden Gate. I think this is only its third year, so hopefully the festival will continue to grow, and attract more attention. After all, who doesn't want to see more giant kites like these guys flying over the Golden Gate. On a side note, having taken hundreds of photos of kites in California, I'm always excited when there are clouds like these in the background. Here in the Bay Area, it seems we usually have only two types of skies: perfectly blue with not a cloud in sight, or gray. Thus, I love it when I see attractive clouds like the ones above that can add a bit of texture and variance to my backgrounds. |
