Air 3 Another World - Parys Mountain, Anglesey

[AlbionDrones]

The second location we visited and flew last weekend, again with the AIR3 and AVATA2, both of which picked out the amazing otherworldly colours of the Parys Mountain Copper Mine.

Beloved by the producers of many sci-fi series and films - it makes a tremendous alien planet vista - the colours are a result of the high proportion of Copper, Iron and other minerals.

The open cast mine dates back to the Bronze age, is not an interesting place for a walk, and has a decent free car park - and as it was only 5 miles from Porthwem Brickworks it would have been rude not to visit..

I spotted the amazing rock gap - about 2' at its widest - in a pillar of coloured rock and just had to fly it, tight but doable... The stunning blue sky belied the wind - it is very exposed - but what a place!

Wow! An alien documentary. You found "their" world, @:15, you capture the shadow of their hover craft, @ :40 & 2:40-ish, you showed the aliens watching over their world.
Loved watching this. The colors on the rocks are mixed and layered, came out very clear. The terrain is very rugged. I can see why TV/movie people would use it. Nature saves them lots of money not having to create a background like this.

Superb as usual!

Very interesting landscape. It did look like another world and those colours. Nicely flown.

Expected much and you nailed it! Who would have thought an old open cut could look so beautiful

Thanks... It is an interesting place, just shows beauty is where we find it, not where we expect it to be...
