A lovely colourful shot. For me, the background is a little distracting - I'd prefer something more attractive (or blurred!). But pretty nice all the same...

Thank YOU for our comment dear ruben.... these kites weren't too close to the sea.... and there were also other larger kites behind them and on the ground, or I would've have tried to have the sea behind these kites too....

All the Best ,

Thank You Dave for the kind comment- Bummer on flying until sun-down...not with the BIG ones and the music, etc. that is from 10-4pm only...
I have no clue why but individuals can fly their kites all night if they want :))

Excellent! Do they fly kites until sundown? Would make some good evening shots if they aren't blowing around too much.

Thank YOU for the comment dear Annemette... I BARELY didn't get attacked from falling and diving kites -lol !!! It's true so hard to see the kites lines...and soo many everywhere, competing and 'NOT competeting'...and people learning so that some just dive straight down as they are practicing special movements to music ...haha!!! It is Fun...I am just waiting for the next rain to fall and think it will clear up after this ..I hope , I hope:))
Best Wishes my dear ,
Michele~

Thank YOU for the great commnet John... Kites are for FUN- to fly them in the air is a sport here on the Oregon coast , actually all over the world... BUT these really BIG ones.... sometimes it is too windy or not windy enough for them to fly.... these 2 with the holes in the middle seem to fly alright but not soo high in the air... I am not as familiar with these. during a festival music is played and kite flyers fly their kites to music ...It is a great show and it is international as well.... I am glad you like them ... I have lots of images.. I will add another for you to view .
Hugs,
John

That is amazing, not only the colors, the object itself it is so unique, wow I'm really interesting to know what really these things do... kites...I don't get that word...even I translate it in a program... that reminds me parachutes but what on earth do there a soooooo big hole? so perchaps these are something other than parachutes...so I don't care, they are nice even there looks like useless! :-D kidding ofcaurse, the photo of unusual things are GREAT...and I also want to find some unusual things...
Excellent dear Michele.
Hugs!
