A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.
I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here
This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

Good job gridding out those farms in the middle of an empty fucking desert.
But there's the thing: It's all desert. And people still need to eat. They're using groundwater, here, and it was adequate. Decisions taken in that time period were good decisions.
Now it's changing. And just like California Almond farmers need to seriously switch to a crop that isn't at the heart of the water wars, Saudis need to switch to methods and crops that use miniscule amounts of water.
