This is Belgium too...

Belgium urban sprawl....

Castle Diepensteyn

It takes a lot of energy, to find the right spot and the exact wind condition to take the next kite aerial picture. On the other side; I am discovering step by step my own country and I am surprised how many nice place we have ;-)

To make these pictures, I used a camera (Canon G15) lifted at 150 meter high by a kite (strandvlieger). The kite is attached/and secured to my body.  In this case the lifting power was produced by a red rokkaku kite.

The camera rotates and is triggered automatically, but I can take over all functionalities from the ground.   Yes, I do see what the camera is shooting (video downlink) .

Portsmouth day II

The second day started out without wind.... I was able to pull up my fled just high enough to hang on a small camera.    But soon it started souring around.... so ... here just some impression of the first hours at the festival.

Portsmouth Day I

Just had a few minutes to take some pictures.  So this is not all representative about the quantity for what you can see at Portsmouth but at least you get some insight...
The quality  of this festival is just great!

Damme

Is that the Schellemolen windmill that you can see in the left corner?

Damme; A beautiful, touristic place near Bruges seen from a camera hanging under a kite on a 200 meter line.

I waited till that biker was close enough to pull up my kite; Just for fun
