Visitors battled a stiff wind and tangled strings during the annual Berkeley Kite Festival on Sunday.
Hundreds of festival attendees worked on their kite-flying skills along the knolls of Cesar E. Chavez Park at the Berkeley Marina.
Kites, just as their pilots, ranged in size from tiny to XXXL. Giant octopus and whale kites bobbed over the park as guests took in the sights.
