Back From The Space...! - a photo on Flickriver

            ► █░▓    JARI (23) has been piloting his drone for just half a year and he already does it with great skill and precision. I was trembling seeing him sent it away in the mist above perilous waters and loosing its sight completely whenever it flew beyond 30 meters from us. The biggest challenge according Jari was avoiding to accidentally hit a ship. These are some busiest waterways in Europe leading to and from The Port of Rotterdam.

Sun went down at 17:07 without us seeing any of it. It was exactly 15 minutes later when Jari decided to fly his drone a bit higher. Even to me as a bystander it was a highlight of the day. Flying your drone from practically the middle of an almost invisible river, in dense fog, standing on a tiny stretch of stone-built narrow land tongue protruding across heavy currents, and sending it high up the sky above such a stage, requires good guts and assured skills. 

At 90 meter high the drone left the clouds. Jari flew it all the way up to 121 meter high and made a short recording. Now he is kindly offering it to us hereby. It is very brief, but it has a true cosmic feel to it. ENJOY! With this I am starting my guest album for special (and spatial :) recordings and photographs taken by my friends and acquaintances, the ones that haven't been published before.

Even more impressive in my eyes than the height reached, is that Jari managed to fly his drone smoothly back down to our groyne, exactly onto the launch place we were standing on. 

Gazing at nothing in thick fog, just by Jari's appearance instantly changed into an exciting experience for me. I hope you too feel the moment in this small seven-part reportage, my six photographs appended by his short video compilation.
