A short sunshine break with a last minute holiday and I've got lucky with the location.
Going to try filming more here later.

Sorry! Was a cheap deal from Norwich too, so tough to say no.
Left my drone at home as travelling light and had to bring my work laptop, so just the OP2.

Seems like you were in the right place in the right time, and caught a very nice timelapse as a reward. Wish the weather was as nice here in Finland now...

I think not many, the skills of these pilots is high... they also over fly a 5 star hotel with lots of german guests who like to sunbathe topless, so am guessing added sightseeing!

Thank you, when it;'s clear though, it's easier to see aurora from Finland...that's a big 'win' in my opinion...

I have to admit that is true, althought it's not easy to see it everywhere in Finland, But in general, I guess every country has their up- and downsides

I think that is part of the "attraction" for some,  they all look quite euphoric when they land...could just be the relief of surviving a flight from 3000ft above sea level too!

I've had two holidays to Finland cancelled because of CV19...given up trying for a couple of years for now...March around the time of the Spring Equinox is best...was going high up to Ivalo (?) if that is the correct spelling....a bucket list for many to see.

It's flakey as here now, but the hotel and island is rammed with Russian, German, Dutch, French, Italians and Brits...think everyone having a 'last minute' escape prior to Winter and more lockdown?

I don't think this island has a railway, left my drone at home as strict rules here in the national park. One person put their up in a viewpoint in Tiede and within a minute, a uniformed dude was telling them to land it in an assertive manner.

It is indeed a shame how much this COVID mess has ruined or made things harder. Hopefully you will eventually get your chance. And, yes, you spelled Ivalo exactly the right way :-)

Tervetuloa! ("Welcome!" in Finnish)

Was here 17/18 years ago. Heartbreaking to see everywhere so hi rise and developed on the coast. Walked to Playa la Americas, beach front bars offering a full English breakfast with the difference between them $2.90 / $2.95 and $3.00 ….that’s not going to be healthy…

For an island that gets so much sunshine, I haven’t seen an electric car either. A few of the scooters,but that’s all.
