Spy in the sky.

I am fascinated by drones, so when I heard that someone was going to be flying one this morning over the church, I had to have a look. Apparently there is a hole in the roof and rain water is getting in. Rather than put scaffolding up and have a man go up there at an enormous cost, it is possible to send a drone up to do a thorough inspection. One has to launch it from a helipad so that it knows where to come back to. 
Lovely clear blue sky this morning, but it was freezing cold. 


It shows up really well against a blue sky, but not so easy to spot against a brick wall. 

I was able to chat with Glen before he started. I wondered if I might learn how to use one. Maybe I'll ask him some more questions when he is not so busy. 
This afternoon I made a short journey in my car and parked in another village. A change of scenery for a walk. I took some photo's and made a video. I did seven miles. That was enough. 

Thanks for popping in. Catch ya later. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. Hello, new reader. Started reading back and agree with a lot of what you’ve had to say. Will you be sharing the video you took today? In your about me, you mentioned liking the film, Papillon, is the one you like the 1970s version or the recent adaptation. My favorite was the 70s version with Steve McQueen.

    1. Hello. I have not seen a recent adaptation of Papillon. The original was perfection so I don't know how they can improve on that. I am not happy with the drone video, I may not post it.
