Not a great place for a swim.......


Being interested in all things industrial I had to check out the sphere.   I believe its collecting the gas.







Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

I agree

But it is a nice subject to capture!
Well done!

Great shot DA.    Looks like a treatment plant of sorts.  Lots of vivid colors in that shot.

Cheers Peter, the horse and donkey that were at my TOALP were bemused by the drone I think.

It's a sewage works DT.

Kind of thought so which is why I said "treatment plant".    Nice colors but probably bad smell if down wind from the plant.

TOALP?
You lost me.

Yikes. Good that the drone doesn't record smells...

Oddly they very rarely smell.  The one in the town where I live is a few miles away and if something happens and you can smell it the local councillor is ringing the emergency number and getting it sorted very quickly usually.

Lots of great detail. I'd be keeping my distance though

These places rarely smell here,  if they do there's something wring with them

Thats the joy of sending in the drone.

Not able to smell it is a really good thing.  Also nice that the local councillor can get quick results when needed.

He was a good councillor. Sadly he lost the last local election because too many people assumed he would win.  The lady we know have does nothing, hides her contact details and doesn’t even live that local.

Luckily we still have him at the county level do there are still things he can help with.

And that is exactly what can happen when people do not exercise their civic responsibilities.

Check. Never heard of it, but now I know.

I hadn’t either until done years ago I was spotting for a commercial drone pilot  on a job to document the head quarters of a company before the building was put up for sale.

Yep.  I met a few people out walking after that election and they couldn’t understand what happened,  and you guessed it they didn’t vote.

I always say if you didn't vote you have no room to complain.  

Cool shot!

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

The news announced that they are expecting the largest turn out ever for a mid-term election.  Guess we will see when the votes are counted and certified.  May take a few days for some polling sites due to how many remote ballot boxes they have and how many absentee ballots they receive.  

I'm just glad it is over so that my mail box will quit getting jammed with political ad flyers.  What a waste of campaign funds in my opinion.

There has been a lot of coverage of it here,  our news has been very concerned how it could end up.  As they said "what happens in America doesn't stay in America".  That and the teaser for Nov 15 its been non stop coverage here.

And this is why I minimize my time listening to radio or TV news.  

Ewwwweeeeeewww.   Nasty flys.

There's rarely a smell from these places,   only if something goes wrong.

Ive never been near one so would not know

You probably have and just did not realise.  Most towns have one and often they are near to main roads.

Collecting gas then dump the waste in the local river

It is right next door to the river indeed.
