Kite Festival and Art Shanties

July 13, 2022 by Emily Stark

Just a few examples of the various types of whimsy on display at the Lake Hennepin Kite Festival and Art Shanties. The art shanties are generally in place for several weekends, while the kite festival will co-occur on one Saturday in January.

I mostly photograph natural and rural landscapes, with special attention to the odd and macabre. I use a Sony Alpha 57 dSLR camera, or my cell phone, both of which I’m continually still learning to use. You can also find me on Facebook at Emily Stark Photography.

Many photos shown here are available as prints or as small notecards. Feel free to contact me with any questions about purchasing prints, or follow me on Facebook to find information about where my work is available for purchase.
