Doesn't have to be a lighthouse, any kind of water warning buoy will do.

I was grounded on Friday due to high winds on the St. Clair River. I have some good ground based photos, but nothing from the Breeze. I need a pole to mount it on when the winds are too strong.

I bought a Breeze the other day, but for the life of me I could not get it to bind to my phone so I gave up and took it back. Ended up with a Tello, kindad fun.

Well, the weather here in blighty is glorious at the moment. Consistently perfect for flying except for last Tuesday when the wind did pick up a bit. The forecast is for much of the same for at least another week too

But I can't fly tomorrow since I have other business to attend to. A wasted day tomorrow, then. But Tuesday I'll be out with one or the other of my aircraft. A Hobby flight over by the Fylde coast at a place called Pilling Embankment. Mud flats bordering an amenity area. I flew a P2V+ there last October and, as I recall, I didn't see anything then that could meet the current challenge...but then I wasn't looking for a warning device.

OK. I'm gonna move the game along by posting a distant shot of a lighthouse at Southerness, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.
This is from video footage. The first picture is a crop to try and make the lighthouse a bit better to see. The second picture is the full frame one that the first picture was cropped from.

Does this meet the challenge?

That's good, I think I even see a couple of buoys in the foreground. It's all yours FlushVision!

OK. Just give me a few minutes to sort something out...

OK. Challenge is an aerial image of man made pits or mine shafts or a mining landscape.

From video footage taken the other day on a commercial job. A very small section of Grassington Lead Mines in North Yorkshire (even the client hasn't seen the footage yet!)

Edit: just out of shot to the left of the image is an ancient henge. details here Yarnbury henge monument, Grassington, North Yorkshire

This is surface mining as you can see in the back ground. In fact where the water is now was mining and now a park. I posted this many months ago for other reasons as you can see.

I remember you posting it and that'll do for me again. I still don't like that lizard thingy

Over to you

Ok, some kind of manikin, I just shot this today for a client, so it's in low resolution. it's part of a larger image of a restaurant.
This pic came right off my video, the only modification, I sharpened the dummy burger boy.

Is your pic a jpeg or what format?

Tom Chastain · Jul 13, 2018

Should just check the "upload a file" in the lower right hand corner and then when the pic uploads pick large.

Something in the back of my mind tells me that I might have a picture of a silo in my external hard disk library but I'll have to do some serious digging around to find it.
