We stopped at the beach before we picked up Taylor from acting and this guy was out there flying a kite. I took a few quick snapshots to get something for the day and in about 5 minutes out here I was frozen and probably could only stand a few more minutes. I admit that I wasn't dressed for it, but it was cold. I know there was a group of people flying kites about 3 hours earlier and I wonder if he was out there that long.

When we got home I checked the temperature and the windchill was about 22deg F.

He must really love his kite. The good thing is that you got a really cool picture out of the deal. (No pun intended.)

Brrrr.... I'm glad he's flying a kite -- for a minute I thought he was a windboarder! B&W suits this well.
