Great observation and imagination

Fantastic top down shot Tony.    It does indeed resemble a sand hourglass.  

Hello there tonydeli7. Good day and thank you for sharing another beautiful aerial photo that you have captured. Great work and keep flying. .

As a Southern Hemisphere viewer, I would guess that this the Mediterranean Sea, and the landscape was Greece, or thereabouts.  Greece,becuase

As a Southern Hemisphere viewer, I would guess that this the Mediterranean Sea, and the landscape was Greece, or thereabouts.  Greece, because of the ocean clarity suggests a low rainfall landscape with no out flowing turbid rivers and that the landscape rock is limestone - highly calcareous which precipitates any clay particles.  The landscape and signs of human activity are sparse and indicate failure of crops but not isolated trees - olives?  This is not to detract from the natural beauty of the scene.  It just seems adds to the puzzle of how so much of human intellectual and artistic contribution came from this rocky and barren landscape.

Indeed it is Greece,and the island is Chios. Sadly most of the trees were burned from fire around a decade ago.

I remember seeing a NASA picture from space showing the fire back in 2012 of Chios.  Also, wasn't there a fairly large fire there again last summer?

I think almost every year there is a fire there.. Last year the big fire in Greece was at Chalkida I think. It’s a sad sight but nature will recover!

It always amazes me how nature can recover from so many catastrophes.  Sometimes takes much longer than other times.  

Looks very nice!

Great aerial photo
