Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, California, Buttercup Sand Dunes, March 2017
Below are photos and videos from visits to the Buttercup dunes in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area in California, 15 miles west of Yuma, Arizona. We visited the dunes on a couple days. The aerial videos from the plane were shot with a GoPro Hero 3 mounted on my Bluewing flying wing. The videos from the quadcopters were shot by my friends with their DJI Phantoms.
