At one time in the year, a short time bevor the sommer holyday, there ist the biggest (??) Kiteflyersmeeting of the world at the Danish island FANO. Thausends of kite-freaks are there, to get a special kite-feeling. The biggest kites you can look for, are out of many hundrets m² of spinackernylon. They often can only been flyn by a kit-team. They use a car, an excavator, ore a truck as an anchor.

In 1999 at the 15. International Kiteflyers - Meeting I have made my first KAP photos there. This year I wanted to use my new Rig#4 and the experiences I have collected in between to use for some beautiful KAP photos. Unfortunately, my SONY P5 broke approx. 7 days before the festival. I could not get it back although it was in guarantee. So it was nothing with photos "from above" this time and I have shot some pictures from below.
