Ironically for a country with such drought issues, Festival of the Winds was rained out in 2007 and 2008. This year, our third attempt, it was finally a go... and hell yes sista, we went-- and we kited gosh darnit.
And it was awesome.
This is what it looked like:
Our kitty kite.
Our friend Dana taking it all in.
Kite Man?

But... Couldn't you photoshop some pants on this guy?
awesome pics! looks like a great time!
I was going to go there, but Lacey slept in the middle of it and my sister came over, so we missed out!
It seemed like so much fun. x
Have I ever told you what a great photographer you are? That photo of the guy in the Puma swimsuit -- unfortunate, but great composition, the way he stands out so clearly (again, unfortunate) and the background is more blurry. And especially the kites! Beautiful!
Hey! I just posted about festival of the winds and how amazing it was...Get out of my head! As usual, those are some great pictures.
a friend of mine invited me to go but I couldn't make it. I wonder how often our paths almost cross? sydney is such a small city
Dude in the Speedo is not awesome. But the rest of it, definitely.
PITS- If only I had photoshop-- which I totally want to buy, but have no idea what to do with-- I need to buy it and take a class-- once I do that I will photoshop pants onto people who need them.
Chitown- Thanks!
Chantelle- It was fantastic.
JD- Thanks so much! I am considering starting a photography business, I bought some urls for it but haven't built the site yet-- we shall see.
Dana- Thanks, I am going to add a link from your name to your post on it.
Nursemyra- Maybe we could actually purposely meet up???
Freeman- I love the Puma on his ass, classic. Dude, when are you coming here??
Oh, I am so jealous freezing my ass off in Melbourne!
Kristi- It's freezing in Melbourne?? I had no idea!
Those are some gorgeous photos, man. Seriously. How blue is it there? I'm in awe.
Rassles- It is seriously gorgeous here, it's nuts. If you are forced to live overseas for a few years, definitely put Australia on the short list.
You really are a great photographer -- beautiful pics (even the tatted, speed-oed guy).
Looks like a very cool event.
Festival of the Winds sounds like more like what you hold after a Chili Cook-off! lol
Cool pics, well except for Tattoo man in the speedo. Yikes!
Brutalism- Thanks!
Felicia- Hahahahaha, you are too funny, I love it!
Kristie- Thanks and totally agree.
That looks like so much fun! I love kites!
Yeah we should meet up for coffee one day. Maybe in Paddington?
Is there a new contender for the title of Mr. Fluffy Pants? Love the pics You have a true talent Thanks for bringing the beauty of Australia into full view Love and miss you
Christine- I love kites now too!
Nursemyra- That sounds great, the best time for me is anytime my kids are in school, but that was probably an obvious...
Anonymous- (ninabellina??) Thanks mama, I think that's you-- who else would say fluffypants?
How lucky you are, to be able to fly kites! We can't do that here, with all the lightning.
hey FG, write to me at rocky@geko.net.au
I will never listen to Journey the same way again. ;-)))
That dude with the Puma budgie smugglers and the tatts is SO Oztraylyan it's hilarious. What an arse!
Marvin- It's pretty incredible, there seems to rarely be lightning here-- though when I lived in Orlando, FL, it was insane-- I think it was like the lightning capital of the world?
Nursemyra- I am emailing you in a few minutes---
Permanently 23- Oztraylyan? I love that so much, did you invent it? Can I use it freely or have you already trademarked it???
Wow these pictures are beautiful! The colours are excellent and you really captured something so Sydney about them! They almost make me miss it :)
These shots are brilliant.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Angela- Almost? That hardly sounds convincing... haha.
J Bar- Thanks.
Hey, that's pretty good for someone who hated Sydney with a passion when she left! hehe :)
Look at that blue, blue sky!
Gyspy- The sky here pretty much has FL beat, only thing is I think there's like no ozone here-- you feel the sun pierce your skin, it's insane.
