And another fine day, where do you find it ?

One thing that mystifies me, I've now started hunting, where is Graeme in these images, do you camouflage yourself ? (Wally used to wear a stripe jumper ;-) ).

Another nicely created 360

It was yesterday morning (2nd) - I watched the forecasts carefully and charged up 3 batteries the night before in the hope I got a couple hours before the rain moves in!

It was an amazing morning - chatted to the farmer at Bervie to get permission to fly, chatted to the cellphone mast engineers that happened to be there too, setting up the new mast for Bervie and then took to the air! One battery spare so I went down to Benholm which I had planned to do when the weather was right.

All in all, a great morning was had.

I'm nearly always visible in the shots - and I usually have an existential crisis realising all that I am, within the relatively small area of view, amounts to no more than a few pixels! If you look straight down in this shot - I'm there.... I would have been a pale blue dot but  I took my blue fleece off in the heat

You've invented the "Geo-Selfie", no 120m pole required :-)

Haha - with some of the sunny and too windy to fly  days of late, I've wondered about kite photography   I'd be easily found at the end of the string!
P.S. Interesting story about some of the first aerial panoramas shot at http://robroy.dyndns.info/lawrence/landscape.html

Sharing this again as, strangely, the images disappeared from the original post  - edited to fix.
