The Scorpion of Reykjavík. (https://blog.parrikar.com/2020/04/14/the-scorpion-of-reykjavik/)

Fascinating sculpture, Rajan, and you made the most of it. Good shooting.

Fabulous!

The elevated point of view is perfect. I find that it suits the sculpture very well and the result is more elegant than being on the ground 8in my opinion, of course).

I love the drone shot, Rajan.

Fantastic, unique images of a well-worn spot - really really nice!
Quick question for our international travelers (Asking here because I see a critical mass of you :) )- I'm USA based but have been thinking about getting a small drone for when I travel (mainly EU, UK, Iceland & South Pacific is what's on the horizon), but I'm concerned about operating a drone in foreign airspace. If I obey local drone regs, are there any additional issues with locally assigned frequencies, or anything else I should worry about?

Thank you, all.

Jeremy - which one? Both the images were shot with the drone.

James,
Re. Iceland -
Flying drones in the national parks is prohibited, but it is possible to get permission from the park rangers through an application. At other places (which is most of the country), you may fly the drone unless there is explicit signage prohibiting it. No frequency issues I am aware of (I fly the DJI drones).
In Reykjavík there are special rules as there's a city airport nearby.
Other than that, use common sense precautions you would take anywhere else. In the Icelandic countryside, don't fly close to the horses. They get easily spooked and the farmer won't be too pleased. If you are here in the summer, watch out for certain kind of birds (the fulmars, for example, may attack the drone if you get too close to their nesting site).

Fair point: I meant the second, from directly overhead.

I've always loved this place. You've done well here.

Nice, I don't think I've seen anything similar to the second which is a lot considering how photographed it is.
