All four images below are from the lower Grand Coulee area of eastern Washington state. This is near the Lake Lenore caves, for those familiar with this area. The first two images (looking south) show the southern end of the Great Blade, with Lake Lenore. The Great Blade is the longest blade of flood-eroded basalt within the Channeled Scabland of eastern Washington state. The third image shows the Great Blade (looking north), with Alkali Lake. The fourth image shows great flood flow striations and potholes, just east of the Great Blade. If only Harlen Bretz had had the use of drones a hundred years ago...

Both images below were taken in upper Moses Coulee in eastern Washington state. The first image shows the terminal moraine, and outflow channels, of the Cordilleran ice sheet from our last ice age (about 14,000 years ago). That image is looking north up the Coulee. The second image is looking south down the Coulee. Second image was taken at day break, while the first image was taken several hours later. Both images were taken with the Mavic 4 Pro drone.

Hopefully pulling this thread out of the archive... Here are three images taken yesterday with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The first and third images were taken with the 168mm equivalent lens/camera, while the second image was taken with the 70mm equivalent lens/camera:
