Romancing The Wind




A big H/T to Donna and Terry for sending this!!!






   The man flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada. He comes  to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!

You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite!  I  would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated  again!  And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music  is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites.  Beautiful
!

  2. How utterly wonderful. I've been to the kite festival at Seaside, Oregon. It was great, but I didn't see anything to match this.
