The monarch butterfly is under increasing pressure due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, driving down their population. The butterflies pay the hummingbird robot little mind: Posted Apr 28 10:00 AM by Jason Kottke Watch a Monarch Butterfly Swarm (Filmed by a Drone Disguised as a Hummingbird)įor an upcoming episode of a show called Spy in the Wild, PBS’s Nature used a tiny drone disguised as a hummingbird to capture footage of a swarm of half a billion monarch butterflies as they overwinter in Mexico. I realised last night when I took a walk down to say goodbye to this magnificent phenomenon that you can fall in love with a volcano.

It’s hard to describe in words, but I have actually been very emotional this morning, crying and sad but also so thankful for this experience and being able to share it with you. Update: Steinbekk did a 12-hour stream from the volcano the other day and at the end, he sent the drone into the volcano to die: Update: Steinbekk has added several new drone videos of the volcano to his YT account, including this fantastic night view of the lava from directly overhead. Update: Here’s a live view of the erupting volcano. Said Steinbekk of the experience: “I really thought I would never see my drone again, but man, this was so thrilling to capture!!!” Drone pilot Bjorn Steinbekk took his brand new DJI FPV drone and flew it right into the eruption, capturing this pair of amazing videos. Posted Mar 22 11:27 AM by Jason Kottke Incredible Drone Videos of an Erupting VolcanoĪfter a series of thousands of tiny earthquakes in the area, a small volcano has started erupting in Fagradalsfjall, Iceland. Lang has lots of other great aerial projects to peruse on his website. The nature zone of the Bavarian Forest National Park is thus one of the very few places in geographically divided and densely populated Germany where, in the sense of human non-intervention, at least secondary wilderness should be possible again, especially in spite of the age of the Anthropocene, in which there is no completely uninfluenced nature anymore. This new aerial photo series about the Bavarian Forest, the first Nationalpark in Germany founded in 1970, shows nature that is largely left to its own devices again, true to the park’s motto “NATUR NATUR SEIN LASSEN”. Most of the topics of my Aerial Views project, which I have been following since 2010, deal with the intervention and often also the destruction of our environment by humans. So I very much enjoyed looking at Bernhard Lang’s series of aerial photos of the Bavarian Forest. Living in Vermont, I have a special appreciation for all the amazing colors that trees turn in the fall.

Good Friday is one of the busiest days of the year, so I’d better get myself set!

On that note it’s time to get ready for work. The pictures always look delicious, but some crusts taste like cardboard… I’ll give it a shot on Monday and let you know how it is! We enjoy our pizza nights, as you know, but finding a decent gluten free crust is always a bit of an issue so when a new one makes an appearance it catches my eye pretty quick. I couldn’t walk by a new Nongshim noodle without mentioning it, I haven’t tried this one yet. These Keter deck boxes are a great way to keep the yard clear and, your fun stuff covered. With that warmer weather approaching and outdoor activities being on the menu, having a convenient place to store all your goodies never a bad thing.
