Took this #Drones4Fun photo over the weekend. Near Farm Island Lake in Minnesota. #Cuyuna #DronePhotography #Barns #AerialPhotography #DJIAir3

Aerial view of a small red barn in a spring landscape when most of the trees are still bare, except for groves of evergreens. There is a small lake in the background.

I've been away for a while. This winter I've been taking drone photos at a much reduced rate and haven't posted any for a while.

Need to get some momentum going before spring, the second best time of the year for drone photography.

Rows of short dead corn stalks pertruding from a few inches of white snow on wavey terrain.

Is it fair that I get credit for this image or should all accolades go to the owners of this beautiful barn for placing it so perfectly for me to find tonight.

Aerial view of an upkept red barn with white trim. In forground is a lake and the sun is setting. The sky is a warm orange as the sun peeks through an overcast sky shortly before dusk.

I've been out flying the drone almost every day the last 2 weeks. It's been a photographic fall season with great weather.

I am having a hard time not taking more photos every day. The colors are so gorgeous. This one took a bit more processing than usual.

Aerial photo of a penisula sticking out into a calm lake just after sunset. The trees on the banks of the lake are showing their autumn colors and a full moon is visible in the sky.

The sunset is partially hidden behind scattered clouds and there is a silouette of a boat on a calm lake with scattered swamp grass in the forground.

It's swan season. They are beginning to group up to fly south. Also, their surroundings are getting colorful.

Something different today. A little power boat racing, from the air.

#Drones4fun #TCPBA #BoatRacing #Cuyuna #Minnesota #CrosbyMN #DronePhotography

In the foreground red powerboat is make a turn around a large orange buoy. In the background, you can see other boats, at least two of which are part of the race and creating a large wake.

Same bridge as in photo from yesterday, but different angle. I love this bridge.

Had some great photos of this bridge in winter, but lost them in an unfortunate drone accident.

This is probably my favorite image that I've taken in the last few months. I just love it.

#Drones4Fun #Cuyuna #Minnesota #darktable #landscapephotography

Aerial view overlooking two neighboring lakes with swamps between them. It's sunsent and the colors are reflecting across one lake, in the other we see the reflection of a walkway across the lake.

This was exciting. There are so many swans around, but I seldom get a good look at the babies.

Adorable!

Two adults swans with three babies huddled next to them. The family is swimming on a large lake with lillypads in foreground.

It was a great evening for taking Drone photos. Nice lighting and an interesting mix of snow, ice, and open water.

These are conditions that only come along once or twice a year, if that.

Tomorrow, we loose the sun and the by the time it get's back, the snow may be gone.

#Drones4Fun #BayLakeMN #Cuyuna #DarkTable #DronePhotography

In the foreground we have a red barn and small corral. Fields are covered in snow. In background, we have a large lake with many islands and penninsulas. The water is mostly calm and open, but hints of ice along the edges are visible.

A gravel pit in Crosby. Another example of the interesting things you find looking straight down.

I love taking photos of sand and gravel pits. They are ever changing.

#Drones4Fun #Cuyuna #DarkTable #Photography #Minnesota #CrosbyMN

Looking straight down at a small gravel pit. One can see mounds of sand and the tracks of vehicles through the pit.

This isn't a great photo in general, but I'm fairly happy with what I got given the weather and lighting conditions at the time.

A week ago, it was in the 50's F and the snow was completely gone. We thought that spring was here.

How foolish.

#Drones4Fun #Minnesota #Blizzard #BayLake #MNastodon #Cuyuna

Aerial photo taken just about the tree line along the shores of an open lake, during a snow storm. The ground and cabins are all covered in snow. The sky is dark and snow can be seen in the air.

Aerial view of some brown fields. Focus of photo is sunlight breaking through the clouds and a fan of sun rays spreaking in all directions.

@aeronaute

I didn't expect you to try. The fact that you did try, is impressive.

The Cuyuna hashtag is generous. I consider #Cuyuna to be a region (although there is also a town by that name) and this photo is really a bit outside of the region. So, it's not a deliberate red herring, but it's also not that useful.

This photo is within about a 15 mile radius of the city of Cuyuna.

Do you really think that this photo is possible?

The town water tower. Guess, which town?

;-)

Aerial photograph of a small town water tower. Water tower says "Deerwood." Behind water tower we see a softball field and some houses.

I love the dreamly quality of this photo, especially the background. It almost looks like a painting to me. I attribute it to the lighting at that specific moment.

Only sad that the sky is so washed out.

#Drones4Fun #DronePhotography #photography #Minnesota #Cuyuna

Aerial view of a red barn and associated house on the site of a small hill. The barn is surrounded by evergreen trees. The background is a bit hazy and we see a small lake/river winding through bare grey trees.
