My drone came in the mail about a month ago. I've had a bit of play time with it. I've used it in a couple stories I've done for Global News, but it's usually only a shot or two. I was trying to think of something I could do exclusively with the drone and this is what I came up with: BIRDS EYE BANDO. I love checking out these abandoned places but sometimes these locations can be unsafe to explore. This is where the drone comes in! It is much easier to explore these sites safely with the drone. It also offers up a unique perspective of these structures, angles not often seen, which will hopefully breath some life into these neglected locations.
For the first BIRDS EYE BANDO I explore Bergen Cut-Off Bridge.
I explore the abandoned Bergen Cut-Off bridge. Originally built in 1913 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, this bridge lived a very short life. Operational from 1914 to 1928, since then the bridge has sat lifeless in the muddy banks of the Red River. With the centre portion of the bridge turned upstream, it is pretty difficult to explore this site on foot, but by air, it is no problem! I explore the Bergen Cut-Off Bridge with my drone to get a perspective of this bridge not seen by many.
