This is the kind of video where you want to sit back, relax and perhaps have a cup of tea. For whatever it asks in time, it offers back as insight into how magnificent it is to take to the ocean and chase the rising sun. Setting Day is a beautiful sight to behold and it is made all the more special when seeing it as the crow flies. Music Source: 24 Min In | https://soundcloud.com/chlaurien/mmix-april-2021

The Gold Mists About This Video: A fella dreams of a morning like that which last Tuesday provided. The perfect temperature inversion laid a carpet of thick fog across Antigonish and combined with the rising sun's orange rays to turn the cool tones of lead into a fiery gold. I hope you enjoy this float over all of this autumn beauty. Music: https://soundcloud.com/mikrodoz/paranoya-no19-donny-carr

Take flight over the shores of Big Island Beach with me then dive to the waters edge and head out to sea all while drinking in the most intense iridescent sunset. Music for this video can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/axxbr/marcus-marr-chet-faker-learning-for-your-love-axxel-remix

A calm sea and a warm sunrise set the scene for Setting Day. The wakes created by the lead boats rippled the ocean into silken waves, each one stacking perfectly upon another. Outward and onward the men and women of Antigonish sail into a new season as much as a new day. The months preceding this voyage were tumultuous to say the least but this day held the promise of a fresh start, a return to something familiar, something easy to understand.. like the sea and sky. This footage was captured on May 15th at Ballantynes Cove, Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The music in the background can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/baikalno…/mixtape-148-by-the-doubljuh This is a really incredible set.

A lighthouse is a powerful symbol. It warns of danger, it represents home, it's a literal beacon to show you the way. Even for those of us that never venture to the sea these iconic structures sit on precipice of two worlds and serve as a nexus of identity for the lands and waters that they serve. Herein you see the Arisaig Lighthouse and Cape George Lighthouse rendered in all their glory against the backdrop of a crisp and beautiful February day. The pack ice had filled the strait and offered up a truly rugged backdrop for these architectural anchors. All of this video was captured by flying manually, its hard to describe exactly how many things you need to do with your fingers to keep the shot steady yet advancing but with time the delicate touch is slowly becoming my own. I hope this video connects with your inner navigator, please let me know if you have visited the spots featured in the video or even if you just like what I did here. I highly recommend you listen to the full Monolink set associated with the track in this video, it is beyond amazing. https://soundcloud.com/monolink/monolink-nightfall-liveset-wwwklangextasede

My drone flight over Jimtown Beach, Antigonish Harbour, just over Ogdens Pond. Taken in Feb, 2020. Music from Burning Man 2018 - DJ Dane at Tycho Sunrise on Dusty Rhino SC.

I was testing my drone out in some “light” snow conditions and ended up with some pretty commercial like footage as a car zipped by.

That which is obscured can lead to the light. The mystery provides a magic of revelation. What goes down, must come up.

Jimtown Beach and Crystal Cliffs is one of the best places in Antigonish to get un-interrupted lengths of sand and on this particular evening the reflections on the water provide gorgeous hues matching the falling sun.

When you’re almost out of juice and have no where else to land the familiarity and warmth of where you came from is beyond compare. Such was the case when with only 20% battery I made my way from high over the ocean back to our friends The Lukemans deck.

For this flight I took to the skies over Jim Town beach in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The morning provided perfect conditions for flying and I was even treated to a person walking the beach at the end of my flight. I would like to dedicate this video to Cyndy Doucet as this area was her favorite place and I like to think if she was checking in on us this might be the path she would take.

Chasing the setting sun over recently iced fields in Antigonish...

The most picture perfect cottage rests on the hillside near my home, the feat with this tour was to go look upon it and come right home. A bit of dramatic music and some video acceleration later and you have a pretty entertaining ride in front of you.

One of the supreme joys of my drone is magnification. That which is far away can get close and very much so in the opposite direction. I pulled this one off completely free form on my first take. I love the warmth from lights in the house and the sky. This is also the very first use of my fancy new opening animation!!! I hope you love it and please comment and share to help spread the good word of my efforts.

This is my 2nd published drone footage and I could not be more proud of the end result. This flight took me to the Old Marshy Hope Rd. church and the stunning forests that surround it. No small amount of effort went into these few minutes of footage... were talking a drone exam, a couple thousand dollars in equipment, about 20 hours of learning how to fly, some freezing cold fingers, and 3 hours of post production to build the intro, exit slides and select the music. All said a special type of magic has now entered my world as I can take my minds eye to the sky and take all of you along with me.

The brilliance of Brierly Brook could find no equal on this frosty January Day. A chance look in the distance gave me a clue something beautiful was afoot but only my wings could confirm my suspicion. Upon sight of the valley I knew I found another world. A crystal coated palace constructed with no effort. A jeweled fortress with an open door. Nature truly is the best designer and I would submit this footage as proof.
