It's been a slow year photography wise, again. But the drone put a little "Sparke" back into it but that had its "ups and downs" the weather being a big part in if you can fly or not, a bit of wind is ok but rain is a big no no. So there might be one or two shots from the drone in this lot. Lets hope for better things in 2020. 1. I'll start with a big fail but I'm showing it anyway. The weather was spot on for a spontaneous blast up the Lakes on my bike, early evening to miss the crowds all the way over Hardknott Pass to get some drone shots of the roman fort. All went well until I started to download the pics and video, and the card failed So all I had was the cache images that are saved on my phone. Hardknott fort by ta-thanx, on Flickr 2. The next two are another example of just nipping out and liking the look of the evening light and heading for the coast, had the drone in the car it wasn't planned but worked out ok. Southport Pier and the Lakes in the distance. DJI_0161_Moment(4) by ta-thanx, on Flickr 3. Spin around from that one and got this one, I just like the colours. Southport by ta-thanx, on Flickr 4. Another favourite area of mine are the Yorkshire Dales, this is Dentdale. Dentdale by ta-thanx, on Flickr 5. This was my first visit to this place after meaning to go for years. High Force.

I had visions of this being a very expensive attempt at a photo. bridge crop by ta-thanx, on Flickr 7. I've got to put at least one firework shot in from this year at Southport again. _MG_9706 by ta-thanx, on Flickr 8. Not the best surroundings but the Bobbin in the garden made me smile.

It's really good to see you having so much fun with the drone. If I flew a big one the way I fly our cats' toy drone, then I will give it a miss! So good to see Buttertubs too - it's many, many years since I was there last. All of these from Scotland show the scale and drama of the scenery. Looking forward to you getting back to Hardknott Pass this year
For me the drone ones of our Nutters trip reminds me of how great a time we have,hope you bring it along again.
Good stuff - that little drone gives some interesting shots! (Mine's on order as is 4 days of pro drone pilot training) 5 and 11 for me. High Force is still on my list!
Forgot to mention your High Force pic in my post above. It's a cracker. Had a wonderful holiday just down the road from it in Middleton in Teesdale a few years ago, and paid it a few visits.
Good to have your company, good to have these shots. Shout out for the big toy which is doing its stuff nicely for us all. A different perspective and always an interesting one. Keep them coming in 2020!
A good year and that drone being used as it should, with a great set all round it’s the bakers shot for me.
