Sunset glow (drone)
Location: Adjacent the Western Treatment Plant (WTP)
Cocoroc, Victoria
(some 31 km south-west of central Melbourne)

I've been sitting on this footage for six months, unsure whether it was worth sharing... I've now decided it has merit: I like the coastline and those strange bushes clumped almost uniformly, and of course that magnificent skeleton of a tree - all bathed in a pinkish sunset glow. This location is not accessible to the public, probably due to its proximity to the WTP. You road you can see is blocked to traffic before it reaches the coast.
This video was going to be titled, 'That tree!', rather than the somewhat insipid, 'Sunset glow', that I ended up with. But it would have attracted a bunch of viewers expecting to see my drone collide with a tree, and I didn't want to set expectations - only to disappoint. :-)
I produced two other videos taken in the vicinity that same evening (both published soon after), one of the sewage treatment plant ( • Sewage sunset (drone) ) and the other of the Werribee River mouth ( • River at dusk (drone) ).
