@maggiemae We live directly behind our town's hospital, and the helicopter pad is only a few feet from our back fence. I've seen them come and go many, many times, but I am still fascinated.
@maggiemae Yes, a few years ago they rattled our windows, but we got new double-pane windows and doors and we hardly notice now. Also, I think they have quietened the copters, because even outside, it's not too bad.
We had the exact similar location for 25 years - the hedges of our driveway were all that separated us from the landing pad. And yes, the roof would shake some times - when they blew a few shingles off, we had to talk with them about coming in for the landing from a different angle - which they did from then on. Really nice shot against the blue sky.
Great shot and awesome color. Would love to see slightly lower shutter speed to add just a little motion blur to the rotor. Not sure I would say you are lucky to live that close or not. Fav.
@cdean1956 Oh, thank you for the suggestion! I have something to work on when I take my next shot of a copter. And you are right about whether we're lucky living this close. When we moved into this house 14 years ago, there was a building and lots of trees there, but they tore all that down and built the new hospital and heli-pad. They only come about once a week, so it's not too bad.
