After posting about the wonders of our world a couple of posts back, I noticed that it had actually become quite topical as a video by Ryan Deboodt was ‘trending’ all over the web. Utilising some neat time-lapse photography and a drone to capture the beauty of the world’s largest cave Hang Son Doong.
As well as being a look at the spectacular beauty of the place, it is nice to see drones being used for things other than for a military purpose. The scale is as one would expect awe-inspiring, if you have a few minutes, this is a wonderful way to take some time out of your day.
Breathtaking!

I agree with you about the non-military uses of drones. This video shows another use: an organisation here in Spain uses drones to observe whales in the Mediterranean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP2xhy3_IbI&feature=youtu.be
It’s amazing how well they control the device.

Ste J, thank you SO much for posting this. I’m having a bad time of things and this was a good way to spend my time at a time I’m not sure how I should spend it : / I’d seen a few pics of this last year, I believe, and it was amazing, but the video really captures how awe-inspiring it is!

I’m glad I could help, would you believe me if I said that secretly I was just waiting to post this when I somehow knew you would be down? I thought not! I think the video is like a little bubble of wonderment that briefly transports you to somewhere timeless and make things feel a little better.

It is good to see drones capturing beauty, they tend to get a bad press but to the creative they are a tool to bring beauty to the masses.
