30 Images Taken by Drones That Will Change Your View of the World

Technology has allowed us to make some incredible strides in recent years. The advent of the drone has given us access to images of some of the most remote and awe-inspiring regions of the world. Before now, some of these sites have never been photographed, due to people being unable to reach those particular areas. Drones are now something we see regularly, whether they are flying above our heads at an event, or filming key information for a documentary, there are plenty of ways that the drone has become a normal part of our life. So much so that there are even certain laws regarding drones in different countries around the world. Here is a selection of drone images you simply have to see to believe.

Will You?

Now, this has got to be one of the most adorable images ever caught on a drone, right? As one man took his drone over the edge of a mountain to get some images of the stunning views, he happened upon this proposal.

Wanting to capture the footage but also keeping some distance, the drone hovered while this lucky man got down on one knee and asked for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. We just hope that the owner of the camera was able to find this couple and share the footage with them.

Mysterious Creature

Sometimes the images captured from drones flying overhead can be quite puzzling and even scary. Take, for instance, the images captured by a drone flying over a European dessert. As the drone flew over the area, it managed to capture images of a strange ape-like creature walking amongst the brush.

In the images, the creature seems about 6 ft tall with a stooped back and long arms. As soon as the images were released, there was a lot of debate online about what the creature was. Whatever the final decision on the creature, it is clear that something strange was out there.

Duck…its a duck

While drone pilots may be able to control where they fly their drones, they certainly cannot anticipate the movement of the local wildlife.

This picture was captured seconds before a flying duck collided with this drone. You gotta admit the look of surprise on the ducks face is kinda funny. Luckily the duck was unharmed, if not a little shocked. The drone, though, never flew again.

Friend or Foe?

This granite giant can be seen from the skies over Edinburgh, Scotland, and rests behind a housing estate in a big farmers’ field. Back in the 60s, a gangster named Jimmy Boyle was sent to prison for 15 years.

Upon his release, he became a writer and a sculpture. After a life of violence and crime, he changed his way, and this here friendly giant was a piece of his treasured work. Since then, the sculpture has kind of been abandoned and is mostly used as a hangout area for kids from the area.
