That moment when you realize there are way less planes in the sky because you hear one passing by. A 10 minute timelapse from the sky above Heerde where we normally would have seen much more activity.


PS, unfortunately this was not taken with any DJI equipment. I am still looking for a device that can capture motion timelapses in a way that suits my needs

Cool footage. I will post a motion lapse shortly

Not much air traffic going on these days.

Not much air traffic going on these days.

Close to zero while we were on the trampoline.
We noticed one and were surprised we did notice (normally they come and go here and you don't really notice them )
It took me 10 minutes (cold minutes that was) lying on the tramp before one was passing by again.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-30 22:56
Thanks a lot!

You're most welcome.  COVID-19 cases are really climbing here in the US.  Just came back from getting my ankle cast removed and saw about 25-30 kids in a park playing volleyball.  Seems some of the young are still not taking this thing serious enough.  Anyway, stay safe Monty.

Yes, we had the same situation some weeks ago. Now most take it more serious.

I just read a timeline of some tweets mr T posted about Corona.
I can't stop being amazed how he still gets away with this.
It literally will kill many many people, since you could have been in advantage having little cases in the beginning.

Nice capture,  I live near the flight path that runs into London and its amazing how few planes we now have in the skies.

Very true.
I somehow hope it will stay somewhat like this way.
We don't need all these airplanes in the sky.

It will be this way for a while I think.  And in the mean time there's more room for our drones.

Yes think so too.
We can do with (a lot) less travel.

With the amount of people flouting the rules I can see a second wave coming here. So it could be locked down for sometime yet.

The police here have asked people to stop calling them about it as they are getting too many calls.  Instead they want us to talk to them.

We've got rain for the next few days so that should put a brief stop to the bbq parties.

That is positive.
Same here actually.
Also good for the garden

The garden certainly needs it.

Oh yes.
Very much.
It just started here.

Very cool footage

It was super weird to realize how little activity there was.

Exactly.
Although I don't mind those symptoms at all.

Strange times and of course not over yet.

Far from over.
Curious where we will go from now.

I think we'll be heading for another lockdown here though it is presently being controlled on a regional level

Might be.
But I most certainly hope not.
At it does not really seem to help on the long run.

Around 5 people a day are sadly passing away from it in the UK at the moment so I don't think it would be a good idea to decimate the economy for it - more die crossing the road. But it was 1,000 a day back in March/April and if we see those numbers emerge then back into lockdown it is.

True.
Sort of the same here.
I really have no solution (none of us have so far) that is failsafe.
Just hope they make the right decisions with this little knowledge.
