	Franklin's Kite

		As soon as any of the thunder clouds come over the kite, the pointed wire will draw the electric fire from them, and the kite, with all the twine, will be electrified, and the loose filaments of the twine, will stand out every way, and be attracted by an approaching finger.
		At this key the phial may be charged: and from electric fire thus obtained, spirits may be kindled, and all the other electric experiments be performed, which are usually done by the help of a rubbed glass globe or tube, and thereby the sameness of the electric matter with that of lightning completely demonstrated.

	KAP Summary Table of Contents
		Kite aerial photography appeals to that part of me, perhaps of all of us, that would slip our earthly bonds and see the world from new heights.
		Though I know little of kites what I have learned to date suggests they are a pleasant enough hobby.
		At this time I also find myself working on the learning curve of html authorship, desktop publishing, and digital image manipulation (this document serves as a testbed for these endeavors.) Finally, I'm delighted by both natural and built landscapes so the notion of documenting the lay of the land seems the ideal Sunday afternoon pursuit.
