A couple of years ago I got interested in KAP (Kite Aerial Photography). I built a rig that is remotely controlled and lofted by a large Rokkaku kite. Here are a couple of pics and a video showing how the rig works.

RV Trip 2013
This year's RV trip in the Crucian Xplorer started in Calgary, Canada on the same day that city experienced the worst flood in its history. Luckily the van was parked on higher ground and fired right up after a year's hibernation. I logged roughly 3500 miles and my route took me through Alberta, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Washington and Oregon. Beautiful country all, and not the least of it Central Oregon.
