A chance look at the right part of a LIDAR map led to a two-part KAP session, over 500 multispectral kite aerial photos, hours of image processing, NDVI calculations and contrast enhancing, poring over maps plotting directions and trying to disentangle everything – and when it finally started to make sense a real archaeologist deflated … Read more
A couple of days ago we were enjoying a relaxed kite flying afternoon, and we did some kite aerial photography too – to catch the stunning views across Ljubljana Marshes towards Ljubljana and the Alps beyond. But as the sun was setting and the light became golden, we just couldn’t resist – and we sent … Read more
Ufff, that was a long wait … we were experiencing KAP withdrawal symptoms as we are laser-focused on the first international kite festival IKF Slovenia 2022 that we are organising. Our last real KAP session was back in January, and two attempts in April ended in failure (no wind, low light conditions). So we were … Read more
So on April 4th we flew on Ljubljana Marshes and shot these beautiful views of the Marshes and Ljubljana and the Alps glimmering in the warm spring sun – and less than 48 hours later we woke up to this: Tivoli castle, ex hotel Švicarija (now an art centre) and the former annexe of the … Read more

We just can’t get enough of them, can we … And it’s not just convenience – Ljubljana Marshes landscape park is just a short drive away, its vas open spaces and rather stable winds are perfect for kite flying – the thing is that the Marshes are full of natural and archaeological wonders, that they … Read more
Well, the people of Polje, at least – those who live in this nice, tranquil suburb of Ljubljana east of the city centre! A friend of us was celebrating her 50. birthday (in magnificent style, with a 50 km run in the morning!) and we came to colour the sky for her with kites. And … Read more
There is a lake in this kite aerial photo … A wondrous, impermanent Karstic lake that is now mostly full after early spring rains: Petelinjsko lake near Pivka, Slovenia. But alas, it was too far from where the wind was strong enough to lift the kite and the camera … Here is a glimpse of … Read more
