Most of us look at our railroads from the side or from sightly above, but today let's take a look from a different point of view- from directly above.

How were these shots obtained? I would love to say I flew a drone over the layout while taking these photographs, but I didn't. They were made using my iPhone and a "selfie stick". It is a simple thing to do and gives you an unusual look at your railroad. Try it you just might like what you see or find areas which need so work.
