Taken from the National Geographic Channel, some of the most stunning scenes from nature all around the world. Music "borrowed" from the film "The Challenge" from 1982

November 2018, when Bob and I were out into the surrounding hills, going to a subdivision located on the tops of a chain of hills. A lot of winding roads, and what seemed to be not too far, took a long time to go to. But the views in the morning sun over these hills had been worth the efforts...

First Fiesta since 2019.... this was a special treat for everybody in the barangay. And there were some special events going on, everywhere and on the basketball court.

Sunrise - Every day a new inspiration

Naya is back.... We set out to the beach along the dike-walk to raid the beach in search of shells. And we were successful in our search...

Early in the morning, I biked to the beach to get a glimpse of the rising sun over Balayan Bay...

I saw a couple of kalabaws (water buffalos) during my biking sessions along the way.

June 2019 and still back in Batangas. I took my drone out into the sugar cane fields, called Ilaya, a huge portion of flat land going north.

June 2019, one day before the "San Juan" fiesta in our town, we went to take a look at a fine resort in the neighboring town of Nasugbu. Canyon Cove is a large complex with all a tourist/guest needs for relaxation.

June 2019 - we travelled to Tagaytay to have lunch at the Josephine restaurant, which allows breathtaking views over the Taal lake with its volcano.

May 2019, I travelled from Cebu to Batangas to attend "San Juan" fiesta. Before fiesta, we were invited to a wonderful place in a remote area in a neighbouring town. Tropics on the mountains with a beautiful house...

End of March 2019, Bob and I were out again in the mountains near Cebu City...

End of March 2019, Bob and I drove all the way south to Minglanilla, a small town on the shores of Cebu. We found a nice "sleepy" fisher village/barangay, where it was promising to let our drones fly and film. This is the result...

Early March 2019. Bob and I went to a not very far place in the mountains, flying over a river and trying to catch the sun with our drones before the sun caught the bottom of the valley.

August 2018, in the early days when I started flying drones and flying together with Bob. We are in our subdivision on its highest point, from where we flew countless times. This time, we caught a very gloomy day with impressive cloud formations, promising us that there will be some heavy rains to follow... which came true

Early November 2018, Bob, Bryan and I had the idea to fly around the WW2 Memorial "Pagdaong sa Talisay", the landing point, where the US troops landed on Cebu, in order to liberate the island from Japanese occupation. Music from a local artist - Jewel Villaflores - Duyog

The Taal volcano is the smallest active volcano in the world. It is situated in the Taal lake, a crater of a much bigger volcano. I went there in May 2019 and flew the drone over the lake towards the crater island of the volcano. But the distance was too large to get all the way up to the island.

We were invited for a birthday dinner at Lago de Oro. We were lucky, since a duo started to perform live music that evening. With no entrance fees to pay....

Feb. 2019 and we took off into the mountains of Cebu to a place, which became famous as the "Pictorial Garden" at a place called Sirao in Cebu. We arrived early in the morning. So the place was ours all alone, almost... Flying over this garden in a beautiful surrounding was something special.

One of the first new clips from January 2019. Bob and I set out to fly in the mountains, near to a dam, but ended up on the shores of Talisay.

Cebu Tops is the highest point in Cebu. A nicely built area here gives a breathtaking view over Cebu and surrounding area. This video was taken on Dec. 21, 2018 on a very early morning. Bob and I left home when it was still dark. Our efforts had been rewarded.

Mid-December 2018 and we went to Lilo-an to see and fly around the lighthouse. After we almost ran out of our batteries (3), a guard showed up and ordered us to leave, since we were allegedly on "private" property. We were not. But no use to argue, since we were done for the day at that point. The guard gave us about 1.5 hours time to do our area scanning with the drone, before he showed up. Good service....

December 2018 in Cebu: Bob and I went out once again very early in the morning. This time we selected the Il Corso/SM Seaside area to catch the first sun rays of the new day.

Mid-November of 2018, Bob and I were out early in the morning to fly our drones in the mountains of Cebu. We encountered some fantastic fog, which gave a magic touch to the morning scenery
