I love the perspective. It really emphasizes the geology, especially the first one. Shiprock about an hour south of me, but I have a much lower vantage point.

The wind was perfectly calm that morning, so I was able to fly pretty close to the rock. I always use a wide angle lens when taking aerial photos, so it appears as if I'm farther away than I actually am.
