Anyone with a smartphone knows how impossible it is to take pictures in the dark. At best you get a picture that looks like a pile of dark to darker grains of sand.

How awesome would that be?

Claytonias F. traveled around America the past few months and documented it all with a quadcopter drone, a Phantom and a GoPro. The aerial views of our wonderful country are incredible to us foot worn humans but probably just a normal Wednesday for flying birds. This is probably the closest we’ll come to flying.

Man, humans are boring. House pets aren’t much more interesting. Bugs can get kind of cool but they’re disgusting. Disagree with any of that? Well, check out these fantastic animals.
