In this picture, we see the aftermath of a catastrophic accident on a runway. Clearly, something went seriously wrong during the landing, and the plane slid down the embankment. We sure hope nobody was seriously hurt. You know what they say – the chances of a flight crashing are the highest just before takeoff or landing.
How absolutely terrifying! Since the weather seems quite clear, we’re going out on a limb and saying that there was a problem with the landing gear. Does anyone know if a plane can be brought back into service after an accident like this?
Orcas Feasting on Great Whale
Remember when we watched “Free Willy” in the early ‘90s and all everyone wanted was a pet orca? Bad idea! Willy in the film might’ve been adorable, but how did everyone forget he’s a killer whale? Only one the deadliest predators of the sea?!
This drone image is just a tiny example of how powerful and vicious they can be. It captures the moment when a pod of orcas decided to hunt, kill, and eat a giant whale. That’s right, a giant whale! Far from a pleasant sight, but a valuable document of nature’s fury, and the circle of life.
Dolphin in Trouble
What we’re seeing here is apparently a seal desperately trying to escape a shark attack. It’s obviously already seriously injured, so we don’t know whether to feel optimistic that it might've got away. A sad end for a noble creature, but that is the circle of life.
The most effective drone photos are the ones that touch our emotions in some way. And it doesn’t always have to be positive. Life isn’t always about the happy moments after all. It’s alright and sometimes even warranted that art pulls at our heartstrings and elicits tears from time to time. Isn't that the point of it, to make us feel?
Talk About a Nightmare
Suspend a line of hammocks high above a canyon and rent them out to sleepy daredevils? Sure, why not? Not for me, though. You couldn’t pay me enough in this lifetime or the next! Apparently, this is like a waystation and all these people are on their way higher and higher.
One question: why? Two: how is this fun for anyone? We guess adrenaline junkies are a real thing. Crazy thrill seekers who can’t function unless they’re on the edge both literally and metaphorically. Well, more power to them. They are an endless source of inspiration and entertainment, even if we have no desire personally to emulate them.
A Family of Whales
We can’t imagine there have been many times that a shot like this has been captured. A large group of giant whales have gathered all together and are all surfacing at the same time in very tight formation. You can bet that under the surface they are bumping and jostling.
We don't know if this happens a lot, but it’s sure the first time we’ve seen it. If we had to guess, we’d say that this is some sort of feeding strategy. The whales probably corralled a huge school of prey into a tight area and then converges to gobble them all up. Any other theories?
