Caught a lovely scene with kites cross crossing the sky against a beautiful sky and treeline. The seemed so foreign to the sky and i nearly cropped them out but it made for a lovely distraction as they glided back and forth into the frame I decided they had to stay!. Apparently the kite is an ancient device that is believed to have been invented in China by two philosophers in the fifth century B.C. named Mo Di and Luc Ban.
Aquiloni
"I figli sono come gli aquiloni. Arriva il giorno in cui si innalzano e tu devi insegnare loro a volare, tenendoli con quel filo esile che si dipana dalle tue mani. Possono cadere a terra più volte e tu dovrai ripararli e innalzarli ancora nel vento. Ti chiederanno sempre più spago e per ogni metro che si dipanerà dalle tue mani, il tuo cuore si riempirà di gioia e di tristezza. Via via che l’aquilone si allontanerà, avvertirai che il filo che ti unisce a lui prima o poi si spezzerà e lo vedrai volare libero e solo nel cielo della vita. In quel momento ti renderai conto di aver assolto il tuo compito di genitore e ti augurerai che il vento sia sempre propizio."
Romano Battaglia, Un cuore pulito, 2001

Uttarayan is a festival that’s synonymous with kite flying. Every year on 14th January entire families gather together on the terraces, roofs or any other part of their house exposed to the sky.
It is a magical feeling, seeing the entire city engaged in the same sport, the sky covered in tiny colourful specs of kites.
A quiet afternoon on Pusuaari,
where time moves with the tide
and kites trace memories into the sky.
There’s something sacred in the stillness,
something soft in the way the horizon holds you.
the place: Pusuaari - Bisous Island
