Want to escape to a beautiful island? Laying on a white powder beach, swimming through warm clear liquid turquoise, chilling with a local vibe, are all heavenly… But a different perspective brings on a whole new view.
See islands, distant lands, and seas from on high, in a birdseye, drones eye, and satellite’s eye view, and “escape” takes on a whole new meaning.
Check out island photos on DroneTravel, a hub for drone photographers who love to capture images of gorgeous landscapes from above. Fly even higher to see what Google Earth and NASA satellites view as they pass over these island beauties.
Drone Travel shares drone images and related information. The site keeps drone photographers up to date on the constantly changing regulations worldwide so they can travel and fly their drones safely all over the world.
