[the 95% reduction in rain is ugly of course, but glad they are surveying as it were]
“Lost [sic] archaeological sites have emerged in grasslands across Wales after a prolonged spell of hot and dry weather.
Wales has seen about 5% of the average rainfall for July, after a series of back-to-back heatwaves and a drier than usual April to June. A drought has also been triggered in parts of Wales.
Experts said these dry conditions have brought to light a range of hidden archaeological remains, including Roman buildings and practice trenches from World War One.
Many are only visible from the air as distinctive marks in crops and grass, with some not being seen for "two or three decades", according to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW).
The crop marks are made by vegetation drawing on better nutrients and water supplies trapped in long-gone fortification ditches - leading to green growth that stands out…”

Flip Flying
Had good weather for once this weekend, so got out with the new DJI Flip to see how it handles and video/picture tests. Video and Images are all off the Flip.
Overall it's an excellent little machine, very quick to deploy, image quality is excellent and battery life is good.
It's trickier to fly in wind due to the large prop guards acting as a sail but this has not affected stability of footage.

DJI Flip Footage
Very short video from the Flip, this was in high wind and the aircraft was flouncing about in the air, but as you can see the footage is rock steady.
Video is as taken, no grading.

DJI Flip
Due to portability and speed of deployment might be of interest to landscape shooters so posting here:
New drone time. This is DJI's new Flip, figured cost to usefulness balanced out so got one in.
Plus RC2 controller which we didn't have that will work with the Mini 4 Pro and the Neo.
These are out of the drone shots, very windy here today for a 249g so just grabbed a couple from behind house. Colours look good, no ND filters on it yet and using auto for test shots.
Does not like wind, was flouncing around with those big prop guards, but video taken was rock steady so can't fault that and it was just at 15m/s, well above it's spec tolerance.

Loving how the shadow angles lined up on these tennis courts.
Coming across little artifacts in imagery is fun.
Is it something shiny bouncing sunlight off the roof, or did we catch a laser attack in progress?

Montpellier's coastline, Dec. 2023.
@Ruth_Mottram Here is the Glénan archipelago in August 2023, whose low relief seems to have a fairly marked effect on the dissolution of clouds coming for the southeast.
Following this morning's post by @Ruth_Mottram, I installed #SnapPlanet on my phone and started tinkering with it. I didn't delve any deeper than this yet but it's already been a really cool ride!
This is the Mediterranean in March 2024. The city of Marseille can be seen on the right of the photo, while the mouth of the Rhône carries all the sediment that causes this earthy flow in the water, and creates a clear E-W separation.
And finally (for the moment), an episode of 'Sky High' - a documentary where someone flies over a landscape in a helicopter getting lovely aerial views and talking about the history of the cities/towns/landscapes/historic houses. This covers the area where I grew up, so is particularly interesting to me.
