Those Daring Young Men in their Flying Machines

Man, machine and kite come together to create colour and noise...

After Pacific City, we pushed further south to the cities of Lincoln and Newport.

Lincoln is also known as a kite-flying mecca. On the breezy day that we went to their main beach, I brought along my 5m kite. I was setting it up when the buzz of this machine passing overhead caught everyone's attention.

Our intrepid flyer wasn't very high, and I wondered at the legality and safety of a contraption like this flying over a public beach... but, it WAS fun to see.
