Island in the Sky

in #photofeed5 years ago

It has been over a month since I have edited anything. Life has taken on a different rhythm and it has not seemed like a relevant activity somehow. After telling the kids that Australia was a much drier place than Canada we had nothing but torrential rain for the first couple of weeks in the country. We spent almost a week up at our ridgetop property not long after arriving back to sort through some things we had stored there before packing up our 4WD and heading off on our next set of adventures. It was surreal being back for those few days; a strange blend of intimacy and foreignness with the surroundings. We spent seven years looking out over the regular cloud inversions from this little ridge top. It was exciting to be able to use the drone to finally look back at the property itself, like a tiny island in the sky.

Here is some video footage from that same morning. Music is Sheets by Damien Jurado.

Hermosa fotografia, literalmente es surrealista. ¡Felicitaciones!

Beautiful landscape shot and awesome drone photography. You really caught the mood of the place.

Yes, weather is strange. We visited French Polynesia last month in what was supposed to be the dry season, but it rained on many of our days there!

Cool. I hope to sail to French Polynesia one day

I do recommend it.

This is stunning, the view is just breathtaking... Great capture :)
