Round Mountain is an igneous volcanic plug that rises some 700 feet above the valley floor in the Castleton (or southerly) section of Castle Valley, Ut. While I'd have preferred there had been a 'better' sky --i.e., with some nice, expressive clouds lounging about, or lacking that, mayhaps a gaggle of pterodactyls riding the thermals while seeking tourists to eat-- the brightly lit cottonwoods and rabbitbrush and scrub oak and such that lay in the near ground persuaded me to try to find a way to shoot Round Mountain as a subject/background.
But it wasn't possible to get 'what I wanted' from down on the ground. So up --briefly-- went the drone. Even though the little Mini (DJI Mini 3 Pro) is fairly quiet, I'm fairly certain it's quiet buzz chased off the 'dactyls. Which, on the one hand, could have been something of a plus, but on the other, perhaps not so much.

Beautiful work, Jim, illustrating the things you can achieve with a drone.

Call that the pterodactyl view? Time well spent getting the drone into action. Great shot too.

The first is a lovely view. But the drone shot really shows off the monolith.
