I ran across this site that talks about a UCB Prof that uses kites to take aerial photos.

Pretty neat stuff.

    Thanks for the link
    I discovered that site a couple of years ago, but lost track of the link through many browser updates. So I'm glad to have it back.

    I'm working in Fremont now and pass the salt ponds. Wish I could stop and take pictures some days when it's so still with beautiful reflections of the electric towers (grin).

    I've just started looking through your posts. I always enjoy seeing how fellow bay area residents photograph the same places I frequent. That one at Santa Cruz near the lighthouse was very interesting. Guess I need to start venturing downward instead of staying on the road all the time.

    I'm not as agile as I was when I was younger, but if the view is worth it, I'll haul out a walking stick.
