Have become obsessed with kites!

Spinning kites on Long Island. Really weird and abstract. Are they blades of grass in the foreground? Lots of sky. Beautiful shapes and colours. Sense of freedom and exhileration. Looks like a painting although it's a photo.

Slightly sinister mood here. Lots of ghosts drifting overland. Great for my "Sea Spirit"! Moody.

Although digital, the extracted shapes of the kite's movement is lovely, flowing. Gives me ideas for sketches. Can I draw movement? All the lines and forms of the beach are suggestive of this - rock fissures, water marks on sand, waves, seaweed, shell whorls...

And here it is, even in the sky.

An idea for possible wind sculpture/ sea spirit. Using long lengths of ribbon or organza to twist and trail in the air.  Reminds me of the twitching zig-zag movement of organza in stream video - a caught twig jerks and wriggles in the water current. Here it is again:

                                                           

I could try to mimic this movement in the wind.

Dark and moody. Alone. Being solitary, but in a good way, is one of the main reasons I go to Penbryn Beach.
There's a sense of the spiritual, of being at one with nature and..something else?...
