Romancing the Wind

The man flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Vancouver. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!

You should watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite!  I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again!  And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because what could be better than Joan Sutherland and the Flower Duet from Lakmé totally reflecting the soaring of these kites?  Beautiful!
