Shel, I agree with your comments on this picture. Of course, I took other shots matching your criteria, and the story behind them could be explained. As I wrote in a previous message, I posted this picture mainly to ask about this old kite guy from Vancouver. Want to know the story? OK, Ray is an 80 years old guy flying 3 kites at a time, making them dance with music. Unfortunately he's almost deaf now, so he has to dance thinking the music, since he can no longer hear it. The girl was trying to let him understand that the music in the cassette he had provided was not playable in a CD reader, so they were forced to play a different music (forever young :-) and Ray had to dance on a different rythm. Apparently, the girl did not succeed in explaining that, so at the end she gave up. Guess what happened then? A perfect performance and a big success!
