Pakistani Basant Kites in Hoi An Street

by Marquis Lugo

Rich amber sunset light floods a crowded street in Hoi An, illuminating dozens of colorful kites floating low against heavy, grey clouds. The symmetrical arrangement of the procession creates a rhythmic pattern of reds, yellows, and blues stretching into the distance. Traditional tiled roofs line both sides of the narrow lane, framing the vibrant paper shapes that hover just above the heads of onlookers. The cool season air seems still as the kites remain suspended in the copper-toned glow. Shadows lengthen across the stone pavement where small lanterns begin to flicker to life, their warm orange reflections catching on the wet ground near the edges of the crowd.
