Friday was sunny so we hiked to the top of nearby Mount Brule. I flew the drone a while since there were no other hikers about. In the photo I'm sitting on the ground, the drone is straight over my head, almost off the top of the photo, and in the distance is Sooke harbour and, farther out, the Olympic mountains.
To celebrate our snowy holiday—the miracle—here's a video of conditions on our tiny corner of Vancouver island.
Now where's that aluminum pole?
I'm learning to fly a drone and take drone photos. This is looking south from directly over the house.
Taken directly over the house, looking southwest towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic peninsula.
Today I earned my remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) pilot certificate. Now I just need to learn how to fly.
