Outstanding action shot! Is this a ray from one of the Earth’s oceans, or is it a science fiction spaceship? You decide! The camera caught the very moment the Mobula devil ray breached (flew out of the water). It’s an exceptionally lucky shot.
Space exploration might be incredible but the depths of the ocean contain secrets just as wondrous we’re certain. Scientists have explored and mapped only 5 percent of the ocean. That’s a whopping 95 percent of “who knows what lies beneath.” The ocean is endlessly fascinating and terrifying. For now, we’re content with seeing what it wants me to see!
A Family of Killer Whales
Some drones are equipped for scientific exploration and timeless art. One such captured this perfect overhead shot of a family of killer whales roaming the open ocean. It’s an outstanding image, a real keeper. Imagine the patience it must take to send your drone over miles and miles of ocean.
You’re looking at your screen and seeing nothing but water and more water until finally...you get the shot of a lifetime! We dock our hats in respect. You’ve got to be committed and frankly a little obsessive to create outstanding art. The results, like this beauty, are well worth it!
Swimming with the Fishes
Swimming with the fishes...or a whale...or a whale shark. You know, like, whatever. Let’s just call it swimming with sea life and leave it at that. Kind of a freaky photo. We know it’s probably totally safe, but you won’t find me swimming with a creature like that. They look docile and friendly enough.
But if there’s one thing the ocean teaches us, it’s the element of surprise. You never know what you’re going to get. But you go ahead. You do you! We admit it would be almost worth getting into the water with this giant fish just to be able to show off this amazing photo forever. Will we actually do it? Absolutely not.
Fishermen at Work
This drone photo is a genuine work of art. You’re looking at a group of fishermen casting their net (the huge blue objects) into the sea from their fishing boat. The pops of bright blue against brown are a sight for sore eyes. We're not sure what they’re going to catch in such shallow water.
You see some of the men are in the boat, while others are literally wading on the sandy bottom. But you never know. If there’s one thing we know about water, it’s always full of pleasant and sometimes nasty surprises. That prized catch of the day doesn’t seem likely, so we’re happy with a drone shot of the day instead.
Where Planes Go to Be Salvaged
It’s a graveyard...for airplanes! Thousands upon thousands of airplanes from the US military have been brought here when they were no longer needed for active service. Unfortunately it’s mostly off-limits to visitors, but if we’re not mistaken, you'll be dreaming about it tonight!
Known as the world’s largest airplane boneyard, it serves a number of functions. Some planes are stored in case they’re ever needed again. Others are sent there for repair. And others are disassembled for scrap and spare parts. A place where planes go to die or find new life. It’s a stunning visual display – of military might and stories of bravery that will turn into physical dust but live on in collective memory.
