It’s odd because when you get up close you can see it’s pretty clear, but the bottom is very mudd/silty.

You're very welcome DA.

Yeah, just looks brown.

What's that stuff on the sides?

Ah ok, it is connected to the sea / ocean.

It’s a creek off the river Thames. 35 miles before London.

Could explain the color.
When I think of clear water....

This is what comes to my mind.


The bottom around that yellow trampoline is about 4m and you can clearly see everything.

There’s a couple of places that are stoney on the bottom and you can see that through a few metres of water.

I really like swimming in that kind of water.
You can see so many things.

Cool shot!

Excellent composition regardless of the mud

Last summer we went to a lake quite often.
Close to where we live.
We used to go there when I was a child (same goes for SWMBO)

We dont really have anything like that round here,   closes I had as a kid was the farmers pools where they stored water for the farm.

PS, did you see the last Mini 2 update?

Very nice.

oh OK,    We have a few places like that but they are commercialised and usually have floating climbing frame things on them.

I flew yesterday and didnt get notified of an update.

DAFlys Posted at 6-16 00:02
Very nice.

Yeah, it was created when the highway was built (you can see it in the frame) around 1973.
Sidenote : They took down the railway because of the highway that crossed its patch ....(that was the final push)
But it is a very nice 'semi natural' pond.

They have a commercial operator that owns the parking place.
So you have to pay to park there. But we always go by bike (which is free)

I saw it on the forum this morning. .

Thats not re assuring any stereotypes there at all.

Me too,  I hope it improves the gimbal when at -90.

Gheghegheghe.
Cheap Dutch Bicycle drivers.

Ah, yes, that is the only really annoying thing.

Old bicycles not cheap.

It’s my biggest complaint at the moment.  I was flying yesterday in 20mph winds with a filter and it drove me crazy.  Now I don’t know if the filter or wine made it worse.

(cheap as in stingy, by taking the bike, avoiding parking costs)

It is horrible. Whenever you move around with the drone, the gimbal moves up.
