11. Beautiful. Imagine being in that tower in bad weather. Thank you for all.

27. I have been in this, and other lookout towers, during incredibly bad weather.

In this lookout tower, just this year, I had: high winds (60+ mph), snow (August 28), lightning strikes (including a strike that ignited a fire 1000 feet downslope from the lookout .. very scary!), rain and hail, and many cold nights that the little propane heater just couldn't cut it. Additionally, I had many days of flying ant swarms along with the yellow jackets and ground hornets which feed on them.

13. Wow!

It is so beautiful. Did you use a drone to take this photo?]. It looks so surreal and the fire lookout looks so real. Great photo.

17. I'm betting he used a sky hook, or perhaps a carrier pigeon with an Instamatic.

28. Yes, a drone is the only way to get such a shot (without hiring a helicopter!).

DJI Mini-3 PRO shooting still photos in RAW. Post-processing in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz (to enlarge the relatively small images from the drone).
