I didn't see any machines. Can you tell me which photo that was?

Were they using that to keep some of the large kites like the octopus aloft?<BR/><BR/>JohnSFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846379168854781828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-90232438040796133672007-08-20T18:43:00.000-03:002007-08-20T18:43:00.000-03:00Giant Schnauzers :) I love them and I have one.

At one point it fell down, but it was on the air again in minutes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing my homework!

Was more than one person controlling it?<BR/><BR/>I noticed in otogno’s flickr pictures that BaToCo (Barriletes a Toda Costa) was there is force. They have a website http://www.batoco.org with pictures of last year’s festival and some YouTube videos.<BR/><BR/>There’s also a Rosario acrobatic kite organization, Contra-Viento, who were also flying at the festival. They’re the guys in the blue jackets in otogno/s photographs. They have a web site as well, http://www.contra-viento.com.ar/xoops/ with information about the kites they fly. They have pictures posted, but there aren’t any (yet) from the festival.<BR/><BR/>JohnSFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846379168854781828noreply@blogger.com
