During the summer, children's imagination take flight with their kites. Not only those bought in beautiful packages, but also handmade ones. These kites are constructed from plastic bags and bamboo, with tails made from scraps of cloth, just the right weight to keep the beautiful creations airborne.
On a recent trip to Sturge Town in St Ann, photographer Ian Allen caught little Jason Dickenson launching his creation.
