Berkeley Kite Festival

From now on this blog is turning into English, this is not my mother language so i might have tons of errors, taking in account that i only write for 15 min or less and not spend too much time going over what i just wrote, this change is motivated by a couple of reasons and i hope whoever read this have the ability to understand, if not just enjoy the pictures.

Today took place one of the biggest kite festivals in the entire US, Berkeley is the host city and the Cesar Chaves Park the place to go. I was really waiting this event to happen and it finally did, i really like to watch and fly kites, every year in my hometown Bogotá, we have a month where always is windy, hi speed winds that allows people to fly kites every day on August and as a citizen i enjoyed quite a lot going to the outer towns and fly my kite with all my family, it is usually a 6 to 8 car trip.

Having that background in mind i really wanted to go there and watch with my own eyes this giants taking over the skies of Berkeley, they are so big that even from my house window i could see them.

I went and took pictures of almost every kite i liked but my favorite is this Dragon, it is simply the best, have a really good mixture between a 3D kite, a delta wing and a multiple rope, not forget the tail to balance on the wings and the magnificent paint job, i was really amazed by this one.
