Sky Watch - Riding a kite

Last week I took some brush and weeds to our local composting facility. As I was leaving I spotted a colorful kite in the distance. So I drove to to the end of the park where I took a few shots and could see the person flying the kite.


Actually, "flying" a kite was not what he was doing. He was kite landboarding, a sport I had never seen. I have seen surf boarders being pulled by a kite, but not someone on wheels. With the wind just right he would go a 200 feet or so, then follow the wind in a different direction. Below is a closeup of the harness and his wheels.

My World Tuesday - Windy

The flags were flapping

and the trees were swaying in the wind today.
