the ultimate summer craft

Ahh, summer. Hang out at the beach, fly a kite, take a few pictures. After a day like that, the best I come home with is sandy feet and sunburnt shoulders. But not these people.

Check out this flickr set by Lenny & Meriel. They've created dozens of beautiful large-scale art using just the beach, a kite and a camera. Oh, and a rake.

By raking the sand into huge zen-garden style patterns, then somehow attaching a camera to a kite, they've taken some really gorgeous shots. They also have another great set on kite aerial photography - plus here's a whole flickr group on the subject. Who knew?
