Happy Monday Blues my friends!

Today, there was a Kite Festival at Chippewa Park. The weather was beautiful for kite flying. I was surprised to see someone standing in the water as it feels like it is still too cold to be in the water.

This black kite was flying continuously here and there and I was watching him keenly as soon as I found the perfect angle I captured him on my camera.
Kite Flying at the Marina Barrage Singapore is a time for young family. Captured the fleeting moment of joy exuded by the girl as she tugs at the kite. Fuji XE3 and XF18-55mm
A famous George Bernard Shaw quote suggests that youth is wasted on the young. I beg to differ, and can tell you from watching my own kids, playing with their friends from sun-up to dusk - there couldn't be anything further from the truth. In fact, we grown ups need to hold onto our own youthful exuberance and stay forever young.

When I saw this black kite coming towards me I took several frames and this one is from that series.
All that's left is the stars in the sky.
A couple years ago I took an image from roughly this same spot with my Canon XSi that I have been wanting to replicate ever since. admittedly this shot does not come close to it, largely in part because their was little to no cloud cover the night I took it. Yet it doesn't make it any less compelling of a photograph as is.
This spot might be one of my favorite locations to photograph the Seattle skyline. The rolling grass hills and old Seattle Gas Company towers frame the city nicely making the city look much father away than it actually is. On a good night when the clouds are cooperating the dynamic shifts upwards as the skies take center stage in the image. The endless possibilities are what keeps me coming back time and again.
This photograph was taken maybe 40 minutes after sunset, just as the lights of the city where beginning to lighten up the night sky. I left the shutter open for 45 seconds, which turned out to be more than enough time to ensure the lawns in the foreground where exposed properly. Next time I think I'll wait a bit longer to let the skies darken even more allowing the skyline to stand out a bit more.
Yesterday was Makar Sankranti, a Hindu festival in India. In my hometown, kite flying is an important part of Sankrant festival.
