I've filmed a lot of different subjects over the past 10 years as I always practicing and learning to operate new drones. One of these older videos was a quick video I had made of Onondaga Lake just outside of the Central New York city of Syracuse. I thought the lake looked interesting on a bright sunny day, so I pulled into the parking lot and had a quick aerial look. Though at the time, I used an old DJI Phantom 2 drone, and a GoPro, so I couldn't really see the video until a few days later. Ahhhh, the early days!!! They were much-less expensive.
Anyways, here's the story...
For over 70 years, this lake was as polluted as a body of water could get, so I was excited to see my old YouTube video trending as it was linked into a recent story about the lake's resurgence and the remarkable recovery by mother nature.
