This is a video I like very much and spent some time developing. It's of the Delta Ponds of Eugene, OR. Here's some information regarding this area:
Description
Delta Ponds is a 150-acre waterway site consisting of numerous ponds, channels, wetlands, and associated riparian areas. This unique natural area owned by the City of Eugene borders a stretch of the Willamette River, just downstream from Valley River Center. For many, it is a favorite spot for bird watching, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors.
Site History
Up until the late 1800s, the Delta Ponds area was part of a river floodplain network of side channels, sloughs, and tributaries that provided a rich habitat well-suited for many native fish and wildlife species. Over time, flood control management, urbanization, and land use practices changed the area dramatically. The ponds, peninsulas, and islands that are present today at Delta Ponds were formed by gravel extraction operations that took place in the 1950s and '60s. These activities provided much of the gravel for the construction of Interstate 105 and other local roadways. Perhaps the biggest change to the area was that following gravel mining, this former side-channel of the Willamette River became disconnected from the river.
The City purchased the ponds from Eugene Sand and Gravel in the late 1970s. Up until 2004, the site was largely unmanaged and the natural succession that took place created both valuable habitat for a variety of wildlife and resulted in colonization by a number of invasive species, such as Armenian blackberry, Scotch broom, and English ivy.

Between in 2004 and 2012, the City of Eugene led a large-scale effort to restore the Delta Ponds as a side channel of the Willamette River. The goals that this project set out to achieve were to: (1) re-establish hydrological connections between the mainstem Willamette River and the Delta Ponds to restore 2.2 miles of side-channel habitat to the Willamette River; (2) improve in-stream and riparian habitat for a wide variety of species including juvenile Chinook salmon, American beaver, western pond turtle, river otter, and neo-tropical migratory birds; (3) improve water quality; and (4) provide recreational and educational opportunities to the public that would lead to increased stewardship of this valuable natural area. In 2012, the Oregon Department of State Lands honored the City with the Stream Project Award for promoting responsible, sustainable stewardship of Oregon's natural resources through this project.
Fish and wildlife monitoring efforts have shown the presence of juvenile Chinook salmon in the ponds during winter months, have documented use of the area by 155 species of birds, and have identified a population of nearly 60 Western pond turtles.

I later acquired a monitor for FPV and played around with a FUTUBA remote while DJI software was working out the smooth operation of the gimbal sensitivity.

Drone Spencer Butte Eugene OR Music Video
This is a great hiking trail and the view is definitely rewarding. On this particular mission I nearly lost my drone as I pushed it through the canopy like an idiot where the winds pulled it slightly out of view causing me to lose track of the location. I could've turned remote off and have the drone go home but home would've absolutely cause a crash since the trees were easily a hundred or more feet up and there's was no opening back through the canopy. I did however get lucky and was able to visually locate it and bring it down after panicking fairly hard knowing what it was worth working versus smashed.
Spencer Butte is a prominent landmark in Lane County, Oregon, United States, described in the National Geodetic Survey as a prominent timbered butte with a bare rocky summit on the southern edge of Eugene, with an elevation of 2,058 feet (627 m).[1] Spencer Butte is accessible from Spencer Butte Park and has several hiking trails to the summit.[2] The tree cover on the butte is predominantly Douglas-fir, however the butte is treeless at its summit. The butte is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene.
