Semaphore kite Festival

Today we spent a pleasant afternoon at the Semaphore Kite Festival. When we arrived, it was pretty much calm, and there were very few kites flying, but the afternoon sea breeze soon started to blow, and the sky filled with more and more kites.

There were specially shaped kites as well as more traditionally shaped ones.

There seemed to be a bit of a maritime theme going on with many of the special shapes.

Here are a few more shots from the festival.
