Another World - Parys Mountain, Anglesey

The second location we visited and flew last weekend, again with the AIR3 and AVATA2, both of which picked out the amazing otherworldly colours of the Parys Mountain Copper Mine.

Beloved by the producers of many sci-fi series and films - it makes a tremendous alien planet vista - the colours are a result of the high proportion of Copper, Iron and other minerals.

The open cast mine dates back to the Bronze age, is not an interesting place for a walk, and has a decent free car park - and as it was only 5 miles from Porthwem Brickworks it would have been rude not to visit..

I spotted the amazing rock gap - about 2’ at its widest - in a pillar of coloured rock and just had to fly it, tight but doable… The stunning blue sky belied the wind - it is very exposed - but what a place!

For such a bright day, the colours seem very matt. Strange.

Yes, one from my youth, it was required watching, a dystopian future, very British SciFi of the 70’s and 80’s…

I did do a bit of ‘ jog my memory since I typed above ‘, yes Blake’s 7 I remember as a kid, they used to wear those band things around their wrists, me & my brothers thought we was cool when we tried to replicate them by making one for ourselves :rofl:

Other than that the whole sci-fi thing I’ve never been able to get into it ‘ why ? ‘ because it’s not true :laughing:

Not really, polarisers will do that.

Suzanne can confirm what filter/pl was being used. @AlbionDrones

Brilliant - so chuffed you went with the martian music. It’s a breathtaking place. Every time I’ve been there it’s never ceased to amaze me. It’s the closest we’ll get to Mars.
