Charles deLint, and living in a city with pretty carvings in the limestone or sandstone of the older buildings downtown, have taught me to look up.
My older brother used to mess with people by standing on the sidewalk and looking up with great interest... at nothing. Most people that walked by would at least glance to see what he was looking at. People are sheep.

That sounds like a cool kite. Take pictures?
