From majestic animals to sweeping waterfalls and lakes - these are among the best drone images of 2017 that showcase the world from above.

The images, chosen by photo-sharing site Dronestagram, reveal 20 of the most stunning shots taken across the world last year.

Spectacular scenery is quite common in memorable drone images, but close ups of people and animals was a common theme in 2017.

You’re most welcome. Check back again in a bit. I’m starting to go thru my links to get more like that set, and the one I just put up on this thread is even better, I think. It’ll take me awhile to get up a good set of landscape links.

It is just me, but the sight of those crowded cities gives me the creeps.

[mairdie]

Fascinating response.

It never even occurred to me that anyone lived in them. To me, they’re pure art patterns. Must be why I love French Impressionist. When you get close it’s all color and line and the reality disappears.

Wow. I need to get out more.

[Big Red Badger]

Berber is stunned!

Thanks for asking,
I’m good.
Put up more of these wonderful photos!

Is what I was stumbling in.
Could not bring up videos.

Drones are getting so popular.
