Hot off the press, that one. Just 90 minutes ago, the drone was still in the air

Sadly I’m in a NFZ today,  right under the take off route for Southend airport.

Opportunity for some ground-based shots?

I went over to troubleshoot a CnC machine for a friend. When I came out it was thick fog.

Sounds like you've got the weather we had yesterday.

It does feel like your weather comes this way the following day.

Thanks mate.  Yeah. Work often gets in the  way of having fun, I recall.  Retired now

Spectacular dawn shot!  

I can only say WOW! Mr B. Really worth the scramble I'd say.
The early drone catches the the dawn light

Thanks mate. I was very pleased with the result.

Nice one Blériot. Great you had time to capture it. Usually by the time I race inside, set everything up and go outside things have changed.

I was pleased with it. Considering how ill-prepared I was

Had I lain in bed another half-hour I would have missed it

Blériot53 Posted at 1-21 22:50
You too mate

Thank you very much.  As it is a bright, sunshiny day I was planning to barbecue a steak outdoors but a cold front blew in overnight and it is only 3 C today.  Very, very unusual cold weather for Florida.  We were just at 26 C two days ago.  Guess no t-shirt, shorts and flip flops today.

I derive a malicious pleasure from that information

I'm sure you do.  

Weather in Florida is super nice 98% of the year but we do have a few quirks occasionally.

A bit of variety in the climate is good.

We are lucky you didn't

It might be a while before we get another dawn like that - it's usually dull here in the mornings at this time of year.

I do sometimes miss having all 4 seasons but then I remember having to shovel snow and rake lots of leaves.  So having only Spring and Summer is just fine for me.

Not far off ideal
