AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

rabi Khan's contribution to St Martin's Island - upcoming kite festival


Bangladesh owns 6 islands. One, St Martin's Island, is a coral island in the Bay of Bengal. Rabi Khan's latest project is a logo for an upcoming kite festival there - "Fly the kite within you" (mentioned in his HubPages posting, "Do you see what I see".) What a gorgeous idea! (It appears the kite festival is celebrated ~ 10-17 February ~ just before Independence Day !! A comment on this pic from the 2007 festival is recorded by a Finnish blogger - Gagan, originally from Bangladesh. ~ More kite pics! )

~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 26th March 2008 will be Bangladesh's 37th birthday (1971).

~Fly the kite within you
Feel the colours fly
Perhaps
Watch an old cord
Slip into the sky~

It's nice to see your interest concerning the Kite Festival of Bangladesh. Let me introduce me first. I did the post in http://mizanurrahman.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/ghuri-utshob/ concerning the kite festival. I felt really inspired to see the picture of this festival in different blogs. The last kite festival was really great with lots of kits. There were hundreds of kites and very few were posted in my post. There was supposed to be another kite festival last friday in cox's bazar and i was about to visit. But for bad weather, it was canceled. Hopefully, I will be in Saint Martin's kite festival this time and will take lots of snap.:)

Me, myself visit lots of place but i am not good in blogging. I am getting inspired to do blogging more.

At last, thank you very much.
