Not popular anymore? Here in Portugal we still can see them flying over the beaches during summer. We call them “papagaio” (parrot).
What a portrayal of optimism this photo is! I love it, the color, the upward motion, the arrow-shape of the kite–it’s so positive.
@xana: I have heard of Kite Competitions and seen a lot of colourful kites during the competitions, but I haven’t really seen many outside of competitions.
@Lynette: Thank you very much, Lynette. I like that about the photo too
Check out a video of those kites.
