A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.
I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here
This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

Vertical farming hasn't taken off because it is cheaper to produce via conventional farming and not enough crops have been explored and understood for hydroponic farming. You can't grow wheat hydroponically the same way you grow a watermelon or the same way you grow a carrot or a tomato.
Serious funding needs to be directed towards hydroponic research.
