With the low speed restriction on the Bayard Sub, I was able to follow the train with the drone and keep getting back ahead of it.
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.
One would be excused for thinking I’ve been a little drone obsessed of late.
Well – I am
I will stop taking photos OF Inspire and begin taking more photos WITH it but for the time being here’s a little hero shot of Inspire at the skillful reigns of Jake Anderson hovering peacefully above me.

XṮEWEȽ, W̱SÁNEĆ territory.
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.
2/2022 - Lewistown, PA
Not even a minute after Amtrak stopped at Lewistown, NSHR 446 is crossing the Juniata River with a single gondola heading back to their yard. They'll shuffle some cars around before continuing into the west business park.
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.
I am really enjoying branching out into some macro photography. I shot these drone flies in my garden. All single shots with my Sony A7RV, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art lens coupled with the Nisi closeup lens and small flashlight. Settings: 1/250s, f/18, ISO 2500. Effective magnification with this combo is 2:1
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...

I tried to build with multiple Bionicle / Hero Factory parts this combat drone, i think it's a kind of training for future projects.
Pose on the scraps reminds me a little of Terminator!
I've been spent quite time into making the final image of my model, because it's a creative process and a work of art itself.
More angles of the drone on IG.
Archives Entry 4877-9: Colony Drone
A small, harmless and simple biped species of Rahi that were once slaves of the Visorak.
The Drones never objected to their treatment because they were either not intelligent enough to know they were being mistreated, or they simply had been intimidated by the Visorak for so long that they knew no other way of life.
Edit: Aye, got a feature by the Brother's Brick.
Closure Announcement:
What began as a bold collaborative art project became a space for deep reflection on climate, consumerism, AI, and human fragility.
Thank you to everyone who visited, contributed, and helped shape this journey,
It was amazing to share this with you all.
Drone Haven will close on April 13, 2025
Till then the sim is open 24/7 for everybody to explore, to make pictures/ videos and to feel adventures in.
The End Is Near, so enjoy while you still can!
Peace out
