Much appreciated Rita :o) Will do!
Maggie, if you have an iphone, get Hipstamatic !! I can honestly say it has changed my life.  I hadn't taken a 'proper' photo in over 10yrs then got this app on a whim one day and now i take pics every day and look at the world in a totally different way.  Check out the Hipstamatic World fan page on Facebook.  Some of the pics are mindblowing.

Well you did a wonderful job with this!   I've seen some other cool hipstamatic shots--I'm going to have to look into this!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments!  I used Hipstamatic app for iphone with no post processing (lens - john s, film - pistil).  This is just how it looked.  The sky really was black with a really strong wind.  I almost blew over!  When the sun came out and lit everything up i nearly melted my phone taking pics. lol

So fanciful and the colors and movement are so palpable!!  Really love this.  Did you use an HDR technique to bring out both the dark sky and light buildings?

The light-colored buildings against the dark sky, with the splash of kite color--striking!! :-)
