The Journey.

Life, as we know it, is changing. Yes, the impact of the corona virus has been devastating. There’s been major losses. Families have been left heartbroken, without jobs, alone. The economy is plunging and it’s frightening. No matter where you live, the threat is real; Times are scary. But amongst all the darkness, negativity and uncertainty, there is light. Covid-19 is bringing people together. Nations across the globe are working in unison against a common enemy, we are fighting for survival. We will win this war and while it feels like we are living in a prison, sentenced to spend our uncertain futures in isolation, quarantine, in hospital or a pine box, we are growing stronger, and will emerge kinder, more appreciate and more united than ever. We need to remember to be grateful for what we have: from our health, having family and friends, our houses or where we live, this wonderful planet called earth. While we stay home we can stay grounded, using technology to stay in touch with the people and places we love. With my Mavic Pro 2, I captured these drone pictures of a lone pelican gliding across Perth’s Swan River, shortly after sunrise, to remind people there’s beauty in being still. The sun is shining, beaming rays of golden light through buildings, covering everything it touches in the same golden glow. The water so flat, it hardly ripples, even though the pelican is so close to the surface. The reflections on the water are mesmerizing, as the strong bird seems to fly effortlessly along its path; destination, unknown. I want this vision to inspire people and help them realize that - like this sole pelican traveling above the river - you are not alone in this war. There’s beauty all around us, we just need to stay strong and keep looking forward. I hope this video brings you as much joy as it has me.
