Here are seven more views of the region that can’t be seen except from directly above:
Development in Beavercreek
In the continuing quest to find interesting views from the air, I noticed a new development on Indian Ripple Road in Beavercreek. The land has been graded and new roads paved. The drone flight revealed interesting man made shapes in the landscape.

Deck of aquatic center
While looking at the Grange Hall Skate Park, I noticed the pond behind the Dayton Raiders Aquatic Center which revealed an interestingly shaped deck along the edge.
