This is similar to a previous photo I took in Mt Charleston, near Las Vegas. This one was taken a day later and slightly earlier in the day so there is more sunlight. This is looking northeast down the long mountain road that leads up to Mt Charleston from the desert floor below.

In the mountains to the east of Interstate 15 northeast of Las Vegas, looking northeast toward Mormon Peak and Mormon Mountains Wilderness in the distance.

This is part 2 of 2 photos that are posted separately because together they exceed the maximum resolution/size that Facebook places on photos. These are photos of the Las Vegas Strip looking northeast from near Durango Resort 7 miles away. To get this I zoomed in 6x.

Here's the last post regarding the WDSY tower in Pittsburgh. This takes us vertically down the tower starting at the very top with a great view of the surrounding Pittsburgh suburbs looking northwest.

This is another angle of the WDSY communications tower near Pittsburgh's North Shore. It stands 864' tall. Although the drone is flying above it it's still within easy and legal view since I'm using a Mavic 4 Pro which can be seen much farther than hobbyist drones.

Recently I captured some photos of Fairmont State University's Hardway Hall. This is the first photo of that series.

With its roots dating back to 1915, Hardway Hall was the first building constructed on Fairmont State’s campus. It opened to students in 1917 and was known as the Administration Building until 1989, when it was renamed for former Fairmont State president Wendell G. Hardway.

An independent security firm has found zero critical, high and medium vulnerabilities in DJI components. The US federal gov't now has the ball in their court.

DJI has just released an explosive new security audit finding as America’s drone ban debate reaches a boiling point.

Turn your phone sideways for sure on this monster of a photo. I think this is the widest one I've ever taken but Facebook accepted it since it's not very tall so the total size is still within limits. This captures about 270 degrees or so of the sky from southwest to about east to show the impending storm coming from the west and northwest.

Looking east northeast to Pleasant Valley getting some heavy showers from one of the cells rolling through the area on May 27 2026. This is a photo of one of the same storms I posted a time lapse of yesterday.
