Aerial Shots of the Peat Area near Immenstaad

A few lovely long-haul trips are coming up in the next few months, and because airlines are getting ever stricter about hand luggage, I had been toying with the idea of swapping my Phantom 3 for a smaller, handier photo drone for a while. The Phantom is now in good hands with a photographer friend, and of course the first flights with the new one are already in the can. Shortly before the handover I flew the Phantom one last time over a lovely forest and an old peat area near Immenstaad on Lake Constance. These are the pictures:
