Now when the weather is starting to get a bit more pleasant- not just for taking aerial photos- I’ve managed to catch some aerial photograph by use of a kite.
With decreasing south-west wind – is it not always that case: you hardly have the kite in the air, the wind drops? – firstly at the former blast furnace plant on Phoenix-West and secondly at the new development area in Dortmund-Mengede.
Here are the results:

The kite
In both cases I chose the flare, which in the gusty wind conditions showed the better results in terms of stability and load-bearing capacity compared to the delta .
