I'm not sure what possessed me to go up here on the first snowfall last year, but it was much easier to fly a drone around than try to climb up the hill. Besides, I got a really nice shot of the full arc out of the day, but I had completely forgotten about the other photos from those flights.
I recall this one being a byproduct of trying to do a Rau panorama from the milepost marker, and after the train passed I actually nicked a low-hanging branch. Lucky for me, the copter stayed in the air on three and a half props, as I later found out climbing that embankment is an adventure in the snow
