Those are great Kenny! 
Love the straight down view of the water!
I have considered a drone, but I'm afraid of regulations preventing my using it, so I'm still on the fence...
...also afraid of crashing it!
I would love to get the views that are normally out of reach, like you did.

Very nice shot of the arch. Be sure to look at the download!
It looked a little different on August 31, 1991, but on September 1, 1991 part of Landscape Arch did fall. A visitor, Michael Müller, caught it on video tape! If you want to see it he allowed it to be posted on the Arches U.S. National Park Service website.
I have added the link: https://www.nps.gov/articles/arch-landscape-rock-fall-1991.htm
Apparently he was under the arch 5 minutes before the rocks fell... Yikes!
I saw it in 1999 and I'm sure I have a slide or two somewhere, at least I hope I do...

A small folding stool would cost a lot less.

Why do I see so many of this model on eBay that state: "never used" or "box never opened" or something that indicates the camera is in mint condition and never used? I was really surprised to see so many listed in this condition.
My FM2 certainly got used! I wonder if a bunch of people bought them because it was the last of the mechanical Nikons. Only thing that didn't work if the battery died was the light meter. Great cameras, I would not sell mine, to many memories attached to it.

Very nice! It's great that you got the moon in the first one!

I remember that mill, I took a very similar picture to your first one. 
I seem to remember this mill used a turbine rather than a water wheel.
Nice series.

They are all great! I would love to photograph a place like that, Utah is a very scenic state and I want to go back!

Excellent work Sue. I always like a good sunset (or sunrise). You got some fantastic clouds that day!

The jet is the trainer version of the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, introduced in 1945. I believe it was the first operational jet fighter for the US.
