Summer's End - the Kite
One of the stalls at the plant fair last weekend sold kites.This little boy isn't actually flying the kite he's looking at. (see small photo) It's fixed to one of the rocks behind him - probably put there by the kite sellers as the stall was very near.
I think he wishes it was his kite though, don't you?
Such a handsome lad. Looks just like he came out of the bath. Clean and polished. Looking up at the kite dancing across the sky. What a nice photo this one is.
ReplyDeleteThis is crying out to be painted.The composition is spot on, dead straight horizon and his face is delightfrul.
ReplyDeletehe film 400 Blows comes to mind. Lovely image.
You caught the sense of wonder and fascination in his profile. I, too, would love to fly a kite again. The ones I saw in Asia are ENORMOUS!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE kites. . . .I will have to look for my old one when we start to pack. .
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. The blues , even the kite matches! Just love his expression.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly takes the sting out of the saying, "Ah, go fly a kite!" Okay, count me in too! Nice capture!
ReplyDeletebelle photo, le cerf volant représente la liberté, et on rêve tous un jour pouvoir être libre dans les airs.
ReplyDeleteThis has a whimsical edge to it Jilly - summer is gone - how sad!!!
