A neigbour used to have a drone which got me interested in them. I lost interest after he lost it by flying it into a tree. (A months later, he "lost" himself in a motorcycle accident in Laos and was flown back home in an urn. I'm not saying drones bring you back luck; I'm just saying.)
But, really, I don't need a drone to show you where I live, not while real estate agents pepper their advertisements with drone shots like the one above. It's from an advertisement for a vacant block of land on Clyde Boulevard, but it also shows the location of "Riverbend" which I have marked with the label - you guessed it - "Riverbend". Nice shot, eh?
The time it was taken is at a quarter to two because that's the time when the tourist boat, the "Escapade", makes her return trip to the Bay. You can see her almost in the centre of the photo travelling along the far side of the river. By the time she passes "Riverbend", the skipper gives me a blast on the ship's horn if he sees me stretched out in my hammock on the jetty. That is what life is like by and on the river.
I could tell you more but it's close to a quarter to two and I'm about to lie down in my hammock to be greeted by a blast from the ship's horn.
