A week ago (and it seems a lot longer than that) we returned from what is now a regular bi-annual trip to the Festival International de Cerf-Volant de Dieppe.
We had an uncharacteristic spell of bad weather that forced everyone bar the Scratch Bunnies to down kites for a few hours.
Mostly the weather was pretty good with more than enough sunshine to warrant the liberal application of some factor 30.
Dieppe really knows how to put on a festival. Unlike the UK kite festivals that usually last a weekend Dieppe runs for 9 days with the various sponsors flying in visitors from all over the world. One of the highlights in the night fly on the final Saturday. The organisers line one of the main arenas with flood and spot lights then at 10pm the local council turn off all the street lights and the fun begins.
A load more photos are on my Dieppe 2008 set on Flickr (best used with Cooliris, formerly Piclens - if you have Firefox). Videos will follow once I've had a chance to edit them.
