Los Vaqueros Watershed - Contra Costa County, CA

On January 26th, 2020, I went to Morgan Territory Regional Preserve for a hike through the preserve along with Los Vaqueros Watershed. I parked at Morgan Territory Road Staging Area. I'm telling you that so you can get a general idea of where I was in the preserve as it is huge.

Los Vaqueros Watershed - Contra Costa County, CA

On February 18th, 2019, I drove to Morgan Territory Regional Preserve for a hike through the preserve along with Los Vaqueros Watershed. I parked at Morgan Territory Road Staging Area. I'm telling you that so you can get a general idea of where I was in the preserve as it is huge. On my hike, I also got a small glimpse of the extremely rare San Francisco Bay Area. There is one photo of the snow in the blog posts. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Discovery Bay, CA (Aerial Photography) - 5/27/2016

Discovery Bay, CA consists of a town built on top of a huge artificial lake surrounded by a lot of farmland. I usually describe Discovery Bay as a town and artificial lake out in the middle of nowhere. If you take a look at the town on Google Maps, you will understand why I describe the town like this. With that in mind, I thought it would be a really cool place to fly over with my DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter after looking around the area on Google Maps. I can see from satellite imagery, the roads and houses in the artificial lake made really interesting shapes and patterns. I wanted to take photos myself of these wonderful designs and this is why I performed this flight. It was very interesting seeing the designs with my own camera and aircraft. I also shot video on this flight, you can view the video here. In this blog post, I will share with you the photos I took on this flight.

Aerial scenery from Discovery Bay, CA. The video footage was shot with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter on May 27th, 2016. Discovery Bay, CA consists of a town built on top of a huge artificial lake surrounded by a lot of farmland. I usually describe Discovery Bay as a town and artificial lake out in the middle of nowhere. Take a look at the town on Google Maps and you will understand why I describe the town like this.

In this video:

• A flight through part of Discovery Bay, CA. (Quadcopter range is limited in residential areas due to WiFi interference.)
