[solentlife]

Latest video for those who need cure for Insomnia ...

Kuldiga Waterfall and Bridge. Waterfall even though very short 'drop' is actually the widest in Europe. The ice is now starting to break away and its opening back up.
Summer has people jumping of the stones and swimming ... even Wedding Couples go out there for photos ....

Waterfalls can be hard to determine height. They can look low due to high water levels. How high are these falls?

About 1.5 - 2.0m only ...

My problem was distance I was standing from the target to be video'd. Very difficult to determine AC height as it was well below take-off point. So I could not use the altitude reading on screen - I was already most time in -ve numbers.

Here is the Soloshot 3 remote camera video following the P3P ... gives you an idea of the difficulty. A lot of the time the P3P was hard to see because of the trees etc.

Hey, who’s the silly guy playing with his drone in the middle the road? Hope it doesn’t slip and fall in front of a car.

Interesting that this is the widest waterfall in all of Europe -- wouldn't be in the top 10 in many of the 50 states of the USA. I also notice the water appears fairly turbid -- any idea why? I'd guess its organic but I don't know.

Also, the red brick bridge is really cool -- any idea how old it is?
