Stunning drone-based aerial photos of world heritage sites

While lately it seems that the only stories about drones in the media centre on interference with conventional aircraft by careless (or curious) operators, I was heartened to read The Australian’s recent photo feature on world heritage sites as captured by a collective of Russia-based drone photography enthusiasts.

The group is known as AirPano and they have captured some truly stunning photos of several of the planet’s best known heritage sites, including the Great Wall of China, Petra, the Roman Colosseum, Machu Picchu, Corcovado, the Taj Mahal and Chichen Itza.

The photos are well worth look as are many of the other photos posed on AirPano’s website.
