Today was the annual kite flying day of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s School of Architecture. A couple of hundred architecture, technology and interior design students take part in this ice breaker event at the start of a new year. Unfortunately the Windy City didn’t live up to its reputation and the kite fliers struggled a bit to get their creations into the sky. This guy with his kite on a fishing rod was one of the successful fliers who stayed airborne for more than 5 seconds.
Due to the fact that the wind wasn’t playing along I couldn’t really get any pictures of lots of kites in the sky at the same time, but I did catch Spongebob Squarepants soaring overhead.For more neck craning pics, visit Skywatch.

What fun to see creative kites. Too bad the wind didn't cooperate. Nice capture of Springbob.

The first photo today is wonderfully dramatic! Stunning, actually. The lines and tension work well. It looks like the person flying the kite is using a fishing pole … is that correct?Very well done!
