Since RoseCat was brave enough to show where she lives in the Time Stamp thread I thought I could do the same here. This isn’t actually an iPhone photo except I photographed it off my computer screen with my iPhone. I don’t have any way to get my iPhone up so high.

That’s my house over on the left, hiding in the woods with minimal mowing around it. I like the surrounding area to be as natural as possible. My property is about 5 acres. You can see by the colours that this was made in late fall after the leaves had fallen.
Across the road there’s a long narrow hayfield, and beyond that the woods begins again, first dipping down into a deep gully and then rising up to a substantial hillside. It is essentially a high valley. You can see my uphill neighbour’s lower driveway in the lower left. His house is about 400 feet from mine. My nearest downhill neighbour is 1km.
Behind my house is another long hillside. My house faces south, which is fairly ideal for solar gain. Looking east we look out over Dennis Beach and Waterside Beach on the Bay of Fundy. That small mountain is called West River Mountain and from the house it is on the left of our view.
The road is heading downhill in this photo. Hills in every direction. You can imagine that leaving the driveway with my bicycle is a major commitment in either direction. I’m either going up or down steep hills.
So that’s the general lay of the land - I’m surrounded by hills and woods.
The nearest city is Moncton, about 80km to the north, a little over an hours drive, longer in winter.
The photo was made Oct.20/2014 with my old quadcopter using a GoPro camera. I have used the same quadcopter to lift my old iPod for some aerial photos but my iPhone is too heavy. I’ve considered getting a newer iPod for this purpose but it’s somewhat of a folly.
