My husband Dave took this DRONE shot.
I'm standing on the end of the pier where I took the previous picture.
Well this was a great but super challenging place to take some drone shots. I wrecked several times and after the first 2 hrs I had enough of climbing through this rusted pile looking for my drone. This town Cannelton, Indiana was really cool and lots of history, I hope too return again one day. this is the Can Clay factory which open back in the 1900s, After a century of producing sewer pipes and chimney flues, the Can-Clay factory closed in June 2019

a song that was dear to my while building:
Another World · Antony and the Johnsons
This insect is identified as a drone fly (Eristalis tenax), a species of hoverfly known for its resemblance to honeybees.
It is one of the most widely distributed hoverflies in the world and serves as a significant pollinator in gardens and fields.
The larvae, known as "rat-tailed maggots," live in stagnant water and help break down organic waste.

I know what suffereing means. When we see it we all understand the meaning dont we? Some of us sadly get to experience it and when it is suffering at the hands of corruptioin due to people we are supposed to trust that is when we need to have huge changes. Same thing when we hear the word torture. Another thing sadly I have experienced over the last 4 years.
Being persecuted by a Church while enduring these other things adds another layer to it all. The food stuf. The digs in sermons the dirty looks. Not OK!
Have you ever seen a Pastor sticking his fist in his mouth? I have!
Be back with more after a good think about it.

Location: Drone Haven
Backstory: Drone Haven, a city long abandoned by humanity, stands as a haunting testament to the fleeting importance of humankind in the grand narrative of nature. Rusted skyscrapers rise from fractured earth, their decayed frames wrapped in vines and moss, bearing witness to nature’s quiet reclamation. Faded posters and graffiti whisper a warning from a forgotten era: “The End is Near!” On the city’s outskirts, a survivalist camp briefly clung to life. Dreamers and pragmatists built it as humanity’s final stand, cultivating gardens and creating shelters in defiance of the inevitable. Yet disease, dwindling resources, and discord proved stronger than their resolve. The camp fell silent, overtaken by creeping greenery, its remnants a poignant symbol of resilience overshadowed by decline. At the city’s heart lies the ruins of a once-famous butcher shop, its walls weathered and its windows shattered. Moss softens its rusted fixtures, and vines snake through every crevice. Outside, the grim message echoes: “The End is Near!” This decaying relic serves as a stark reminder of human hubris and the fragile nature of survival. Amid the ruins, drones roam like spectral caretakers. Left by their creators, these machines continue to perform their programmed duties, planting native flora during their annual Echocycle rituals. They maintain Drone Haven as a paradox—a city simultaneously embodying human ambition and nature’s enduring dominance. Yet even the drones are not eternal. As creations of humankind, they too are bound by the finite nature of energy. Like their creators, they will eventually exhaust their resources and cease to function. This juxtaposition—humanity’s ephemeral existence and its legacy in the mechanical species it forged—underscores the fragility of all things, natural or artificial. Drone Haven whispers a layered tale: a reminder that humanity, for all its self-importance, is but a fleeting presence in the face of nature’s vast, enduring cycles. In its rusted beams and flowering vines, it reflects on collapse, resilience, and the inescapable truth that all energy is finite and ultimately consumed.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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!
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.
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...

Riddled with program descrepancies and circuiting errors, the Goof Bot has almost no good qualities. It cannot even handle the simplest tasks. Usually only brought out and powered up when in need of a good laugh. It stumbles and stutters and mutters giberish.
Another retro-ish bot while I have all the grey out, and yes the eyes are tied down with string.

Ringstone Reservoir. I bought the drone primarily for landscape stills especially pattern shots such as this.
This image, the 302nd in the 2018 series, marks a full year since I started my picture-a-day adventure being the 365th consecutive daily image. It's fitting I've published it on the day too!
