Brownwood area Tower Crane closeup

[Goldwingnut]

Here's a closeup view of the tower crane being used to build the hotel near Brownwood. I was out having a little fun when the construction site was shutdown.

That is one impressive video.... beautiful work......

[Packer Fan]

Realy enjoyed it, very creative. Any chance of another Fenney area flyover soon? Love those and seeing the progress.

Beautiful video! Funny though, that as time goes by, heights seem to bother me more and more. Had chills the whole time watching that but enjoyed every minute :)

Cool video, the second drone flying in was unexpected.

While watching this video think about picking up several hundreds of pounds of material, swinging through the air and landing it where it is supposed to go!!!

A great perspective that the guy who sits up there all day doing just that!

Until he has to use the restroom.

Very nice, but my acrophobia kicked in.

Until he has to use the restroom.

I worked commercial construction for 20 years and the same question had crossed my mind many times. And what happens when you get to the top and realized, I forgot my keys or I forgot my lunch, that would really start the day poorly.

Totally " Outstanding " I have spent some time watching that very crane from a distance and honestly in awe.

What you did with your drone is nothing short of " Amazing ".

I want to congratulate you and for the other drone videos that you have done and continue to do.

It is extremely thoughtful of you to take the time to do this

Thank You so much. :plane:

Mr. Kubrick eat your heart out! Well done.
The crane company should purchase that video, and get you to finish the film with the crane working.

I actually started with the opening spaceship music from Spaceballs by Mel Brooks, but So Spake Zarathustra worked better as it was more dramatic and better fit this crane. The crane very clean and looks freshly painted making it very striking to film.

I want to thank you too. For all of the video's you share here. I took the newest one and shared it on Facebook because to me it is a very good look at some of the nice things that go on here. I love seeing The Villages through your eyes and it renews the joy I have for having picked this place to live.

Nice. But where's the monolith?

Alcohol works best (not beer or scotch). This one actually wasn't that bad, I have some footage from when my camera gimbals on the drone were acting up, the video shakes really bad. I could only watch it for a few minutes without getting motion sickness. I lived on submarines for 20 years and rarely get sick from motion, a few bad movements with the drone and I'm grabbing a bucket.barf

It was happy hour, the apes took it to World of Beer to use as a table for the dancing girls.
