Kite's Gliders and Signal Fires

On a recent visit to Dunstable downs in the Chiltern hills we decided to fly a kite. The grandkids loved it and they played all afternoon. The simple pleasures of childhood.

We were on the top of the ridge and in the valley below there is a glider school so we had another kind of flying display from the gliders. It's #monochromemonday so enjoy.

It was great fun running around trying to get the kite and gliders in a photograph together.

Then we got a bit arty and tried to get some weird angle shots.

This is the London glider club down in the valley. It's along way from London?

This is a signal fire which is lit on special days like the Queens birthday or to signal that we are being invaded yet again? A bit like in the Lord of the Rings :)

It wasn't lit this day so it must be just another day. We had a great day out :)
