Ship of the Sky (DSC05129)

Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia

 

The Balinese love kites. Every July, teams of competitors gather at Sanur to take part in the Bali Kite Festival. This photograph is from January 2014 and features a sail boat kite at nearby Seminyak beach, where it was being flown by a young boy. Whilst it differs from the three traditional kites flown during the festival (being the fish-shaped Bebean, the bird-shaped Janggan and the leaf-shaped Pecukan), there is a place for the ship-shaped kites in the 'New Creation’ or Kreasi Baru category.
