What can be deduced by these evidences...
What collateral damage assist in gathering evidence?
(intersection, tire marks, signs, oil spill, grass marks, other)
What Local Law Enforcement & Emergency Vehicles are Present?
Can you locate the two drivers? What condition to they appear to be in?
What are your leading theories, for the cause of the crash?
Do you see a 3rd party involved?

Happened Upon these two young bucks
tangled up in the fog of dark:30

It's been my custom for years, after working out @ Anytime Fit
I drive down Mainstreet & pray over our businesses, schools, churches
and greater community while it still rests.

While traveling down the end of South Main 
headed towards the industrial park to pray over those businesses,
These two yong bucks caught my attention.
The Sillouettes of them going at it,
one takes a dive (flop)...
meanwhile another truck and trailer who passed by, 
double-backed and broke them up with his high-beams.

meanwhile I'm on mainstreet taking it all in.
perfectly position to see this all play out
What a gift!

(Just about to wrap up this project...) 
One of the Final Landscaping Steps is to install Irrigation.
VP | 360 Drone, Design & Map the Install,
We lamenate the Zone Info for Future Access & Maintenance.

This particular install required that we lay 4 culverts underground
in collaberation with other construction crews.
These Culverts needed to be in place before Concrete & Blacktop installs.
This allows us to gain access to landscape islands & areas that will be cut off.

Here are additonal examples of Irrigation Installs from this fall.

Mini SKI Skate [Flashback Archive] | VP 360

Mini Ski Skate | Circa. 1994 (video from 2010s)
I began salvagin old skis, dumpster diving.  Summer & Fall I would ski leavy slopes, wetlands, and gravel pits.  That's right GRAVEL PITS! waiting in earnest for the snow to fall.  in the late 80's, early 90's I had a motley crew of friends that traveled up & down the Appalachian Slopes - experimenting with mini-ski-skates that were yet to hit the market... My prototypes: Hacksawed K2 Skis to 30" & Throwaway Clip Boots were permanently screwed or bolted together... 1994 (freshmen year of college), I worked spuratically at a ski resort in Wisconsin called Telemark Ski Resort (Internationally known for the Birkebeiner Ski Race).  It was here that I began to flip these skiis and test extensively the maneuverability of them on slopes, behind snowmobiles, horses, 4 wheelers and whatever vehicle could pull me.  I had a little bit of entrepeneurial buzz, having previously run my own commercial/residential lawn business, and hustling smoked venison jerky on the side.  Building my own Mini-Ski-Skate business never took off.  But I still dream of running my own ski resort one day ~ Mountainrouski @ Hyonahil.  [My apologies for the poor video quality - old film]

It May be difficult to see, but each of these designs are layered on top of original Drone Shots.
assisted by: Vantage Point (VP | 360) Captures Real Time Drone footage 
& then Maps the Landscaping Design, Layer after Layer over the Aerial Photos.
This is key in 75% of the Projects are Layered over New Builds,
because there is no real time satelite footage/aerials to design with, especially on New Builds.
Therefore the Drone Technology is Crucial to Many projects like this one.

Drone | Draft | Design ~ VP|360
Grateful for the opportunities to come alongside residence, businesses, & communities to Capture & Catipult their projects.  Pictured above is an early Masterplan for the City of Menahga.  Vantage Point is consulting with their City & Commerce division to build out the next phases of their development.  Pictured below are residential homes ALL NEW BUILDS. So there is no existing GiS or Satellite imaging to assist in their property management.  Touch of Eden Landscaping  has employed Vantage Point to capture real time drone footage then overlay it with layers of blueprints & projects.  What a joy to see many of these projects come to pass.  For example the last picture is of the installed Irrigation System at one of our clients... The drone picture color coordinates the details of each zone, where the intake pump is, each particular zone, the lines and heads. Bonus: we carved out a new level recreation area for future Volleyball, Pickleball, Croquet etc...
