Not much wilderness photography for me recently...
Bachelor party last week-end and the Berkeley kite festival
last week-end.

This is a photo of a Rokaku kite fight during the festival.
The goal is to cut or drop to the ground the oponent's kike.
Last kite standing wins. The kite cut there on the right
was lost to the waters as it flew over the kite catchers.

Dan, the festival looks as though it could not have had any nicer sky then the one seen in this photo. Makes me wish all the air was that clean throughout our state. Good capture with the scene even revealing the very thin kite strings too. Again, that seems to be enhanced here with the clean air and crystal blue sky. :cool:
