It is difficult to show how large Sandstone Falls is. This is a point at which it is just starting to fall, with Nigel in the frame to show some perspective.
Sandstone Falls is 1500 feet wide and has falls of 10-20+ feet high and is located just north of Hinton, West Virginia.

I definitely bought the drone a few years ago for more than just railfanning (although I certainly have used it quite a bit that way). But I've always found the different patterns of the landscape around us to be fascinating, and it's part of what I enjoy capturing through photographs. It seems that so many of the world's interesting patterns get even more interesting when viewed from perspectives we don't normally experience. Through the drone lens' view, I get to see things from a fresh angle.
Yesterday while out and about shooting sunrise over the Mississippi River Valley (and coincidentally the CN local - see my previous posting), I came across what at least I find to be a fascinating example of what I mean. This view from just under 400' in the air looks down on the east end of the main spans of the Julien Dubuque Bridge, a 1943 trussed arch bridge carrying U.S. 20 between Dubuque Iowa and East Dubuque, Illinois that is a local landmark. The warm temperatures of the last week are starting to melt the ice of the Mississippi in spots, and the opening of a hole here near the bridge created quite the range of textures. The waters of the "big muddy" really were that dark, as with the low sun angle (about 40 minutes after sunrise) and most of the river still covered in ice, not much light was reaching the murky depths.
different style than i usually do. trying something new for a change.
oh and there was no fisheye done to this photo. just a generic lens. the building was actually like that.
Saw this old man in Varanasi who spent atleast half an hour sincerely trying to fix his glasses. It was just a simple piece of thread that had come off and he was trying to tie it on either ends of the specs. The way he went about it suggested that simple piece of thread was the only thread he could afford. Made me realise that things we consider as insignificant holds a lot of significance for many others.
Kallmorgen Tower, Hamburg, Germany
Architect: Werner Kallmorgen, Hamburg, Germany
This office building was originally built for IBM and is modelled on a Hollerith punch card. However, the punch card impression is hard to recognise at this angle of vision here and with windows opened.

A Fly Agarica mushroom that was growing in my neighbour's backyard. I photographed it from different angles until I found the perspective I liked best.
Big bird or small sheep? without a size reference in the image it's a very confused perspective. A red kite (Milvus milvus) seen at Quarrendon Leys.
I noticed this building with bougainvilleas in every window opening. Trying to decide how to make a wall interesting I chose this perspective

A beautiful day. I had my first chemo (for breast cancer after my lumpectomy) July 15 and I have recovered and built up my strength for the next one July 29. I use both western and eastern medicine, I guess, since I supplement with vitamins and herbs. I drink carrot juice and broccoli juice. There are so many ideas out there. I really have learned to walk to the beat of my own drum.
Early on in the morning of day six of the trip, we were heading into this magnificent perspective.
People often ask why I always go into Central Australia, after all they say, there's nothing out there!
They couldn't be more wrong! How can that be 'nothing'?? I think it's the stunning, stark beauty of it that draws me back every time. I love the red dirt and the flat horizons that I only have to share with my soul mate and a couple of close friends; it's a very soul-cleansing experience.
