Working hard at the quarry.


I wish I could have captured just how far this conveyor belt went.



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

What sort of view do you have in mind Depp?

It is interesting how some of the sand has a bluish tint.

Remarkable capture DA.    That does look like it would have been a super long conveyor belt.  Interesting colors of the sand at that particular quarry.

I wonder if that tint is why the water is so blue there.

It's very odd for sure.

Oh Its too long for that,    and L shaped around the dug out.

That's why I thought you might do a pano - manually...

They are building a new access road along side the quarry Im going to see if I can get access to some of that to fly from to have better sight of the drone.   

The tyre tracks make an interesting pattern-nice shot

Cheers Mate,  they could almost be an abstract shot in their own right.

Aww, that could well be the reason.

Nice shot. Follow the conveyor until the RTH kicks in?

Im going back later to a slightly different spot to try and get some shots of it,   they are building a new access road for a farm that I think I can  walk down to get some shots from both ends.

OK. That should be good.
I was out at 05h30 this morning, as it's so lovely.
One full battery of each drone flown.

I just flew one battery today,   I wish Id gone earlier to day as the sky was a lovely red colour at about 5:30.

I missed the red, but got a sunburst over a hilltop

Lovely.  

I took the morning off today and missed out on the fog that I finally got up to.

20c and full sun here,  rain tomorrow though.  Just walked the length of Southend sea front and back,  about 6.5 miles in total and apart from busy it was a nice stroll,    should have taken the Avata as we walked through the NFZ in the end and I could have ripped nice and low under the pier.

One for the future then

Definitely if the weather is a calm as today was.    Just finished cutting the grass before the rain comes in tomorrow and Im regretting more and more not taking the avata now the more I think about it.

Clouding over now,  I think your clouds are beginning to reach us,  your welcome to have them back,   oh wait no Im committed to rain now as Ive just done a dose of feed and weed on the lawn.

Tomorrow might be better

Rain started here at 6:45 in the end, and the forecast had changed to 11 when I set off,   zrhhh.   but I got home without getting wet and now I have 38gb of Avata footage to fiddle with.

After today it is "supposed" to be dry for a few days,   and the lake district next week is also looking ok weather wise but can you trust it.

The Lake District had weather patterns uniquely its own
