Beautiful scenery. Ginormous combines. Dawn to dusk workday. Shelby, Montana. Aerial footage. Put them all together and you've got this stunning video made by Nick Welker.
GoPros and drones have completely changed the way we view our own communities. Seeing things from above truly gives you that bird's eye view that wasn't possible to capture by the average guy just a handful of years ago.
Have you ever walked the Swinging Bridge on the Kootenai River? When was the last time you were in the Cabinet Mountains? Ever HEARD of Lake Pend Orielle? Montana is a big place and sometimes it's best to see it from above.
Andrew Joseph took this quick, lovely drone video of the Gallatin Valley during a recent sunrise. We're not quite sure what day it was shot but we're guessing recently because you can see the fog rolling into the valley.
Tractors often cost more than houses and when you see these bad boys in action from ABOVE, it's hard not to appreciate how incredible harvest time actually is.
I loved Butte long before Anthony Bourdain professed his love and respect for the town. He did a nice job on Parts Unknown. However, any Montanan knows that a day in Butte doesn't do it justice, no matter who you get to hang out with.
Speaking of the heroes who reconstructed the Bozeman Ice Festival and World Cup climbing structure, take a look at the festival in action from a drone over the Gallatin County Fairgrounds.
This video will not change your life, but it MIGHT take your mind off the daily grind. Every once in a while, appreciating a little bit of nature (with a little bit of technology) can make the day better.
