Afghan Kites

These are photos of some Afghan (Afghani) Kites as displayed at the "World Kite Museum" in Long Beach, Washington. They are among some of the most beautiful and intricate on exhibit.

The Museum has kites from many countries and, they are all different from each other in design...and tradition. Some are "fighting kites". The rules in kite fighting are simple...there are none!

Outdoor Statues

It's fun to go around a town and photograph the art a place has to offer. And, Long Beach, Washington has a lot of outdoor art to offer.

There are statues, sculptures and wall art...all different mediums.

Although many of the sculptures depict sea life, there are statues of William Clark (think Lewis & Clark) here and there. He lead a separate expedition which had there first encounter with the Pacific Ocean.

Buoys

Hobo Junction in Long Beach, Washington is noted as specializing in Antiques and Collectibles according to a couple business descriptions on Google . Unfortunately, when I went there they were closed.

However, what I noticed is, they may specialize in Antiques and Collectibles but what they have is buoys!

Hundreds and hundreds of buoys...I surmised that they may be the buoy capital of the world. I had my camera with me, they weren't around, so I hope that they don't mind the photos and the publicity.

The last two photos are from places around Hobo Junction.
