Today was the Bristol International Kite Festival and despite some overcast and showery weather, there was still a full programme of displays, choreographed "ballets" and mass ascensions.
By happy coincidence, today is also the 5th and therefore time for my monthly contribution to Stephen's 5 on the 5th. So no prizes for guessing that I've not gone with the nominated theme ("The Blues") but have instead chosen some of my pictures from today.

The kites are just gorgeous. Nice collection!
ReplyDeleteThank you all...
ReplyDeleteMoM: The Spinning Bowls in picture 3 were impressive. I've got lots more pictures, and a couple of videos, so may well do a follow up post with more of them. The bloke in the orange top attached to the red white and blue one was getting pulled along by it at one point!
Nice images. I've never seen cow kites before.
