    Sharing the air with a kite from beautiful Finland. I sang the Finland song while taking this picture. I would not lie to you about something important like this.
    There's another great interpretation of Sibelius' composition, lyrics fits to kite flying:

    The lower, brighter box kite is a modern re-work of the design f the Gibson Girl. Oddly, I didn;t note it at the time I was taking pictures.
    I call it Gibson Girl II. I thought it was the same size as the original, but I can see by comparison to yours that mine is larger. My goof.

      Well, they're not at the same distance, so you may be OK.  Also, I would not be stunned if there was more than one size.

    Old and new cellular kites.
    That's the kite I call Phase Shift. It won Ingenuity Award at a past Smithsonian Festival and is now my "workhorse."

    Simon brought a very cool kite from New Zealand.

    Charlie SOtich, master kitebuilder, specializing in miniature kites, and all around great guy.
    And I now own the coffee mug with his bio on it.  I'm leaving it in my Will to Marla Miller for her kite paraphernalia collection!

    Simon 2.0 and his magnificent kite that won Grand Champion in kite making. (I say Simon 2.0, there were two Simons at Convention and I usually try to avoid using last names here...)
    Could've called him "Simon Also"... ;-)
