It's only early September but there is a little color showing in the trees. Probably the ultra dry summer that caused it rather than the onset of autumn.

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.

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.
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.
Long before the word "Drone" became synonymous with quad-copters, these were the only drones I knew. CSXT #9120 was a former C&O GP40 that CSX had gutted and made into an RCPHE4 (Remote Control Platform Huntington EMD 4 axles) drone. #9120, #9121 and #9122 all retained their Chessie colors after being converted, and were fixtures in yards in Michigan for years. Here we see #9120 working the east end of Wyoming yard with GP38-2 #2520.
The idea behind the drones was that any locomotive could be MU'd with them and be run via remote control. The drone itself also provided additional stopping power in the form of its brakes, but could not provide any extra pulling power due to not having any traction motors. The actual diesel engines were left in them for weight. CSX also had a fleet of former GE Dash 7s of the 4 and 6 axle variety that were also drones. While the concept was good, the added work of basically maintaining an extra locomotive just to house the RC equipment eventually became too much in CSX's eyes, not to mention dragging around the extra dead weight. The drones were all eventually retired and the equipment was fitted to conventional EMD Geeps and SD40s. The EMD drones like #9120 were rebuilt into RDMT Road Slugs and mated with GP38-2 and GP40-2 mothers.

If you are interested in specific locomotives or freighters, please contact me. I have been photographing trains and ships for over 15 years and have accumulated an extensive library!
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
Drone Haven is 100% PBR and NON PBR Friendly, maybe a good thing to know !? :)

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.
Could there be a better place for a drone shot? A crazy coastline, a waterfall and a castle on the hill... nothing more to ask for :D
Hope you have a nice weekend!
9/2022 - Los Cerillos, NM
As I wait for Amtrak to get closer, I decided to drone some of the semaphores on the NMRX section of the line.

Thanx for Viewin, Favin, and Commentin on my Stream!
Apparently... according my boys they'd both been wondering what I was up to as I had been gone a long time taking photographs in our woodland, so rather than come and find me, they sent out 'The Drone'.
I had been crawling about looking for flowers, insects and butterflies, I stood up and there was this thing hovering, staring at me like something from 'War of the Worlds'... it scared me half to death... I literally jumped out my skin... I'd heard a low noise but thought nothing of it....Its quite a stealth Drone and I hadn't realised they were stalking me for fun with it... both were quite amused with their new fun idea...

Called a contractor to assess my chimney and instead of climbing up onto my steep roof he brought over his drone and took photos.
So depressing to see this awesome invention now a huge part of modern warfare, bringing death and destruction all over the world.
Free stuffs at Drone Haven have correct settings now, pls take a new copy!
I am a noob free stuff giver, i had set some items to locked etc so they could not be modded after rezzing..
It is fixed now, so Please go to Drone Haven and grab a fresh copy.
If you come across other problems please let me know!
And thank you SAPA for letting me know things were not correct before :)

5/2023 - Lordstown, OH
The primary target of day one of this road trip was LTEX at Lordstown. There is always lots to see here and I spotted more odd-balls this time around than the last time, I think.
Today I went to shot with drone some clips, but end up with this photo as best part of todays shoting.
