Edwards Islands

avatar
@marinagoritsas
Florida or Fiji? Rise above the skies to be transported to another world, one with crystal clear waters, untouched forests, and hundreds of tones of green and blue. From above, the island’s outline seems to playfully mimic the shape of a sea creature, a natural homage to the vibrant life beneath the waves. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.)
