Here at Drones-Gone-Wild Recovery Center we believe that not all drones are created evil. Some just "accidentally" clicked on that thing while updating there software files online, and happened to become infected with malicious viruses that sometimes cause them to disrespect the fundamental laws of robotics. When drones start to head down this dark path - a drone rehabilitation center is the answer to bring there systems back in check and restore normal operation. All of our programs are facilitated by a friendly drone reconstruction expert who will inevitably restore them to functioning members of society.
Couple drone/bot ideas spiced up with a quick backdrop and ridiculous story.

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.
10/2022 - The High Line, CO
The angle I've wanted for nine years! I had a drone during my 2013 visit but chose not to bring it along, partly because they were primitive at the time and a hassle to travel with. #480 slowly traverses the High Line with the long 2nd section for Silverton.
In hindsight or with another day spent here, I'd try farther away and closer up.
The second drone shot of this train, taken on my way to the train show in Fargo. I managed to come home with money left and a couple of photos to boot so it was a decent day.
Drone Haven is 100% PBR and NON PBR Friendly, maybe a good thing to know !? :)

My youngest son is interested in technology. So his latest is a small drone. He took me out one morning to practice his flying skills and I managed to get a couple of photos.
The local Magpies were not interested in this thing at all. HSS

So we were out this afternoon doing some flying of the drone on some country roads. Picked a random road and decided to launch from there. As usual, I took a floor mat from the back seat of the truck to use as a takeoff/landing pad. I flew until the 1st battery was used up and decided to move to a new location. After half hour more of driving I realized that I had forgotten to pick up my landing pad. In the year I have had my drone, this is the 2nd time doing this. The 1st time it was a week before I realized that I had forgotten it on the roadside. Luckily I remembered my last place of flight, returned to the scene and lo and behold, it was still there. Today, although I had a general idea where I had left it, I was not sure. After driving road after road, no such luck. Likely spent $60.00 in fuel trying to retrieve a much cheaper floor mat. I ended up driving home and I uploaded a drone photo to Flickr and since the drone is GPS guided, Flickr pinpointed exactly where the mat was. I returned to the site and picked up the mat. I think that thing is like a cat...nine lives.
Yesterday was cloudy but no wind so Dave took his drone out and took many pics of the built up float ice behind us at North Point. Still crazy people walking out to them and getting pictures. Notice the open water just beyond!!! I stay strictly on the shore line.
Repetition is a wonderful thing. Take a handful of mundane left and right 2x2 wedge/wing plates and just whack them together :D

Homer: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home. . . --Homer's Odyssey, Book I
