This is Fireworks Hill behind Randy's apartment, where will soon be flying kites - a nice, windy (we hope!) flat plateau
|
|
 |
Graham helps Patti assemble her kite at Randy's apartment
|
|
 |
Jim's clown fish kite goes for lunch!
|
|
 |
Randy helps Mary assemble her kite
|
|
 |
Graham is still working on Patti's aeroplane kite!
|
|
 |
Randy helps Jim tame the clown fish!
|
|
 |
Mary watches Fred get his kite into the air
|
|
 |
she's just going to kick back and relax!
|
|
 |
Graham is still trying to figure out which string is which on his two-string parafoil!
|
|
 |
Randy unpacks the mighty Kahuna ...
|
|
 |
... and puts all that lawn sprinkler piping into place!
|
|
 |
Graham finally gets his kite into the air!
|
|
 |
Pete and Mary are still kicking back!
|
|
 |
while Jim is still calculating wind speed!
|
|
 |
the clown fish is finally airborne as Brett helps Graham get his kite up again!
|
|
 |
two strings is just too complicated!
|
|
 |
Patti and Tania are firmly grounded
|
|
 |
a line of kite fliers - it's tough keeping all those strings separated!
|
|
 |
a bevy of kites!
|
|
 |
Isabelle goes to ground for this shot of Randy and Tania
|
|
 |
Brett and Miyuki are having problems with just one string!
|
|
 |
Graham finally has the hang of those two strings!
|
|
 |
running rings around the Big Kahuna!
|
|
 |
oops, the parafoil loses air!
|
|
 |
Miyuki and Brett finally get the string sorted out - but a transparent kite is hard to see in the air!
|
|
 |
hmm, horizontal kite strings - I think this means another crash!
|
|
 |
Fred will do anything for that artistic shot!
|
|
 |
Bob just came here to eat!
|
|
 |
Randy readies his tiny two-stringer
|
|
 |
meanwhile Bob has a go with the bigger two-string parafoil
|
|
 |
the Stylus P2 85 feet up - so fast it's hard to frame!
|
|
 |
Bob likes the wide-arm stance
|
|
 |
he had fewer crashes than Graham!
