Birds Eye View of Sanuki Hiroshima Island



Enoura & Kamanokoshi - Sanuki Hiroshima Island

A couple of days ago I decided to put my little drone up and see if I could capture a nice panorama of what I consider to be an island paradise. I wasn't sure if my drone would be able to get far enough out, or high enough, to capture the image I wanted.

Well, the DJI Mini 4 Pro surprised me again with it's ability to produce not only high quality footage but high quality images as well.

What an amazing view!  Armed with this newly found knowledge about the mighty little drones abilities, I decided to go out again.  This time I thought I'd be focusing on the small town called Aoki, here on Sanuki Hiroshima Island.



Aoki - Sanuki Hiroshima Island

You have to love the rugged mountains and stone cliff faces. You guessed it, Aoki is where the famous Aoki Stone that was used in the construction of Osaka Castle comes from. Most of the quarries that were on the island have now closed down. There's only one quarry that I know of, left in operation now.

Why not come visit and check this beautiful little island out?  I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
