A bright colorful kite would have appeared out of place in this moody sky.

This dark shape, seemingly hanging by an inverted thread, feels right at home though.

It has been a long time since I flew a kite and this image reminds me how satisfying it was to begin a Saturday morning with some plastic sheeting, bamboo or dowel, tape and string and end the day with a beautiful flying creation.

I wonder if I can hang a camera from one?
