Drone takes epic photo of construction of wind turbine

Drone enthusiasts will likely already know this, but drones can take the most epic photos. Check out this photo of the construction of a wind turbine in the Netherlands. Not only does the drone photo show the massive size of the turbine, but look at how casually the construction workers are posing for the photo.

Drone takes epic photo of construction of wind turbine

The photo was taken by Ricardo Manno better known as @dronebird_nl on Instagram. The photo shows three construction workers putting together the inner workings of a massive wind turbine in Oud-Tonger, The Netherlands. The drone photo was taken on November 22nd of this year.

Ricardo Manno said on Instagram:

“Published in the national and international media” I guess this is one of my top shots ever taken. These 3 guys are waiting for the blade to be lifted up. They are sitting in the windturbine on 80 metres high. Below they are strapping the blade and do the preparations to get it up in the sky. They will make sure it fits and lock the nuts and bolts so the windturbine can create energy! Thumbs up for these guys and respect to this piece of engineering and precision! Guys thanks for posing although you didn't know a drone will come up!”

Looking at how casually these construction workers are posing for the photo, reminds me of this photo showing painters on the suspenders of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York back in the day. Yikes!
