Fort Walton Beach, FL Kite Festival

1-2 April 2006

Some really big SLK kites! You can see the scale of the people in the foreground. The Octopus is about 80 feet long.

Entering a low fade with my Nirvana.

Early in the day - winds just starting to rise. Peter Lynn Octopus and Manta Ray to the right.

Nirvana about half way through a 540. I'm flying from the left of the photographer.

Another large Gomberg/Peter Lynn kite.

Nirvana in a stable fade.

View of kites from the side. Again the octopus is over 80 feet. You can also see a green lobster in the foreground (bottom left).

Nirvana spinning - again I'm flying from the left.
