I haven't used my drone very often this year, mainly because my other camera was more inviting, but maybe coming winter I will use my drone more often.

One of the nice things of a drone is that you can picture structures from height that you otherwise wouldn't see.

That is easy seeable with this picture of the "Ijsseleye".

The IJsseleye is an artificial island in the Ketellake (Ketelmeer, province of Flevoland, the Netherlands) used as a depository to store polluted silt. Most of the polluted silt was deposited in the Ketelmeer by the IJssel river between 1950 and 1990. Removal of silt soil from the Ketelmeer lake also aims to deepen the channel leading to the mouth of the IJssel to at least a depth of 3.5 m (11.5 ft), thus aiming to improve access to the river for navigation.

I decided to convert this shot to monochrome, on the basis that it conveys mainly shape and form. The gannet, (Morus bassanus) was approaching a landing spot at the clifftops of RSPB Bempton nature reserve and the shapes it was making seemed rather balletic as it it started to slow down and control its descent in a rather brisk onshore wind. I have also added a subtle vignette, to help further separate the subject from the defocussed background. I will post the colour version in a few days' time as a comparison and because I quite like both versions.

Here is the first, of my (imagined) “upcoming video-game titles” promo art series.

Aerial Enchantment is a science fantasy role-playing video game. Explore the world of Critinus, a secret place hidden within the clouds. Players will encounter special creatures and enchant the clouds around by forming them into the shape of each creature found, which they will use as their main mean for traveling.

Release Date: Coming Soon.

Griffon Vulture adult flight_w_ (Gyps fulvus)-6538

Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies in cliffs that are undisturbed by humans while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these cliffs is high. These huge birds grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.

In many cultures around the world, particularly in Western societies, vultures are viewed with disdain. Commonly, people tend to look down on these birds as dirty, ugly, and unhygienic, failing to recognise their importance. People of other cultures, however, hold the vulture in high regard. This is true with the inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau, where vultures are part of traditional funerary customs. In this culture, people are not buried after death as a means of controlling preventable infectious diseases. Instead, the dead are laid to rest in the sky. Monks prepare the bodies of the deceased and set them on platforms to draw the attention of nearby vultures. The vultures discover these human bodies, ingesting them and carrying them off into the sky. Many people view this as one final good deed as the deceased is able to offer something to another living creature before going off to rest in the sky. This practice is not unique to Tibet, however. Historical evidence suggests it has been practiced by cultures around the world for over 11,000 years.

The maximum recorded lifespan of the griffon vulture is 41.4 years for an individual in captivity
