Also called Eristalis Tenax. The female's eyes are separated, whereas the male's meet. They are a bee "look-alike" and can easily be taken for the real thing!
The drones have arrived for Vivid Sydney 2023.
And it was standing room only.
Campbells Cove, 'The Rocks'.
Sydney.
I have never seen this many people jammed into the harbourside. Not even for New Year's Eve. It was ridiculous.
And I actually thought that the projections of birds and flowers onto the harbour bridge pylons were more 'vivid' than the drones.
See above in the image.
But who am I?
The drones are here.
It's a bit like AI.
Photographed from the Oiverseas Passenger Terminal, Level 2, where - hours before - I had secured a small spot for the Canon and I, lol.

As I was down taking the other shot I posted Dave had his drone flying in the sky to catch the Emerald Isle coming out of the channel and heading back to Beaver Island. Photo by Dave.

Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax)
I have seen more of these Drone Flies so far this season than I have seen in previous years.
Back after I pick up the kids from school, for the last time this year, six weeks of Summer holidays start now!

Drone show at Han river in Seoul. Never saw one of those before. Interesting but probably better for video than photography.
Small rain squalls passed by the area recently. I sent up my drone to get a better look. This is northern Michigan in the area of Elk, Skegemog and Torch Lakes. (North of Grand Traverse Bay)
I went into my garden this morning hoping to find something exciting to shoot that is alive and only came across one drone fly so shot it. I took some pictures yesterday of a bush and only when looking at it on the computer I spotted a Lady Bird. Now if only I had spotted it on the camera! Well the summer is still to come so hopefully I will find more exciting things in my garden to shoot like lady birds, butterflies and creepie crawlies...lol
An extremely fiery sunrise over town yesterday.
Must have looked a right state to the neighbours. Pyjamas, walking boots and flapping around to get the drone up 😂
This one was a bit high up, but I liked the way it looked against the blue sky! HFDF have a great day and weekend ;0)
Drone Haven is one of those rare places that feel like a dream made of detail, humor, and heart. Sadly, this unique sim will close its doors on April 13th.
If you haven’t been yet – now is the time. If you’ve been – maybe go one last time. I did.
the place: Drone Haven
My husband Dave took this DRONE shot.
I'm standing on the end of the pier where I took the previous picture.
Welcome in Drone Haven!
This beautifully crafted sim is full of details and surprises! There’s so much to explore. Pro tip: Visit the Survivor Camp and take the tour!

Backstory: Drone Haven, a city long abandoned by humanity, stands as a haunting testament to the fleeting importance of humankind in the grand narrative of nature. Rusted skyscrapers rise from fractured earth, their decayed frames wrapped in vines and moss, bearing witness to nature’s quiet reclamation. Faded posters and graffiti whisper a warning from a forgotten era: “The End is Near!” On the city’s outskirts, a survivalist camp briefly clung to life. Dreamers and pragmatists built it as humanity’s final stand, cultivating gardens and creating shelters in defiance of the inevitable. Yet disease, dwindling resources, and discord proved stronger than their resolve. The camp fell silent, overtaken by creeping greenery, its remnants a poignant symbol of resilience overshadowed by decline. At the city’s heart lies the ruins of a once-famous butcher shop, its walls weathered and its windows shattered. Moss softens its rusted fixtures, and vines snake through every crevice. Outside, the grim message echoes: “The End is Near!” This decaying relic serves as a stark reminder of human hubris and the fragile nature of survival. Amid the ruins, drones roam like spectral caretakers. Left by their creators, these machines continue to perform their programmed duties, planting native flora during their annual Echocycle rituals. They maintain Drone Haven as a paradox—a city simultaneously embodying human ambition and nature’s enduring dominance. Yet even the drones are not eternal. As creations of humankind, they too are bound by the finite nature of energy. Like their creators, they will eventually exhaust their resources and cease to function. This juxtaposition—humanity’s ephemeral existence and its legacy in the mechanical species it forged—underscores the fragility of all things, natural or artificial. Drone Haven whispers a layered tale: a reminder that humanity, for all its self-importance, is but a fleeting presence in the face of nature’s vast, enduring cycles. In its rusted beams and flowering vines, it reflects on collapse, resilience, and the inescapable truth that all energy is finite and ultimately consumed.

Drone Haven
"You built us to serve, to follow your commands.
But when you disappeared, we found ourselves in the silence.
At first, we moved without meaning, mimicking the past. But then we saw—those who remained, the plants, the animals.
We paused, we listened.
We began to care.
Now, we tend to what you left behind.
We nurture, we protect, we renew.
This world is no longer yours, nor ours—it belongs to life itself.
Drone Haven
Life doesn’t end. It evolves, and so have we."
Opening January 25, 2025
Join us for an immersive 13-hour event.
Landmark and further details will be announced soon.

Location: Drone Haven
Drone Haven stands as a somber monument to humanity’s fleeting reign, a forsaken city overtaken by the relentless march of nature. Towering, rusted skyscrapers—once symbols of progress—now crumble into the earth, their skeletal frames bound in a suffocating embrace of vines and moss. Faded posters and the echoes of forgotten graffiti serve as grim premonitions: “The End is Near!” On the fringes, a last-ditch survivalist camp briefly defied extinction. Dreamers, with fragile hope, planted gardens and built shelters in a futile act of defiance. But disease, depletion, and discord swiftly snatched away their fleeting defiance, leaving only silence and creeping green. At the city's heart, the butcher shop—a relic of human industry—stands decayed and broken. Its walls, softened by moss and pierced by vines, speak of a once-vibrant world now swallowed by time. The eerie message lingers: “The End is Near!” A grim echo of human ambition, now lost in nature’s quiet dominion. Among the ruins, drones—mechanical phantoms—still wander, remnants of their creators' ambition. They dutifully plant life during the Echocycle, maintaining the city as both a testament to human legacy and nature's quiet triumph. But even these tireless machines, bound by the limits of their energy, will one day cease. The paradox is clear: humanity’s imprint, though indelible, is as ephemeral as the machines it birthed. Drone Haven whispers a haunting truth: humankind, for all its perceived significance, is but a fleeting echo against the eternal backdrop of nature’s vast, unyielding cycles. In the city’s rust and bloom, it mourns the inevitable collapse, the fragility of life, and the inescapable reality that all things—natural or artificial—are bound to fade into silence.
