A migratory cosmopolitan species of hoverfly that can be found in every continent except Antarctica. It is said that the male drone fly lives in the same territory all their entire lives where they will feed and defend their area from other insects.

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.

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!

We went for a ride today and Dave took this with his drone down by Elk Rapids. Trees are just starting to turn white. I thought it was a pretty shot of this nice farm.

Captured with my Drone - DJI Mini Pro 4; West coast of the Island; limits of Mellieha.

Thank you for your time to view.

 

Aqua-coloured alien drones in Sydney.

 

Seen over the harbour in a menacing formation.

Zoom in to check out all the alien drone machines as they circle above the harbour bridge.

This aircraft is based next door to us at present, it has been quite active. This picture was taken overhead Bracebridge Heath, 9,000ft at 120 knots.

Drone show at Han river in Seoul. Never saw one of those before. Interesting but probably better for video than photography.

Another Eristalis sp., I think, picking up some pollen on a Euryops daisy. Happy Fly Day Friday!

Shot of the Mavic Mini 2 during sunset, at Wingfoot Lake State Park.

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.

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.

 

I Give My Tears 😢😭

  

Humans are long gone. Be it friend or be if foe this explore could bring either.

 

Enjoy this new sim with a wonderful post human design.

First drone flight of the year, guess I'm a little off of my game. I forgot the holder for my phone and had to balance the phone and controller....too many things to focus on. Still, I did get a couple of shots. This is YSB52 shoving up to Haven.
