Go Fly A Kite!: Patch Photos Of The Week

MARTINEZ, CA -- The colorful scenes above that you've feasted your eyes on are of a massive kite being flown in the East Bay, or to be more specific, the Martinez Marina on North Court Street.

The images were sent to us by local resident Maria Joachim and we like them so much that we've designated them as our Patch Photos of the Week!

Now, about that kite ...

"It was massive, as you can see by the people in the photos," Maria told Patch. "It was staked to the ground, but it was big enough to carry the house in (the movie) UP."

Thanks for the sharing the photos, Maria!

And if you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, Patch would love to feature it. We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the Bay Area, and that show off your unique talents.

Images can be posted for free in our bulletin board section on the site or emailed to mark.nero@patch.com.
