I ventured out to South Harrow to participate in the Afghan community summer festival.
It is always fun to see what activities are unique or special to different communities. Without a doubt kite flying is the most popular activity.
First is the serious business of selecting the right kite. No matter if you are big boys or
And not forgetting the girls.
Then the pure joy of having your kite fly higher than anyone else's.
I'm sure they had fun day kite flying. Haven't done that myself for a few decades.
ReplyDeleteLike the book "The kite flyer" indeed.
ReplyDeleteThese are very nice shots Mo. Glad you had a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI remember flying kits when I was a kid. It does give you a 'soaring' feeling.
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating. Who'd think there would be an Afghan festival in England? Looks like great fun, tho!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day for a festival:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day this must've been - love seeing kites being flown. Especially right in a large metropolis.
ReplyDeleteI have read that kite flying is a distinctively Afghan thing to do. The Kite Runner was a huge bestseller about a decade ago.
