At least it wasn't cold last night.
Maybe I'm just used to cheap cameras, but I am impressed that you captured the rotor blades in action.

Nice pic! Is that the helicopter that has the tail rotor in the tail? So it's not exposed

there is no tail rotor. It uses vectored exhaust instead of a rotor, much safer for ground personnel

It never ceases to amaze me how hikers get hurt with those walking poles and all that gear they carry for a 2 hour "outing".

No doubt. What do they do? Come into a corner too hot at 2.5 mph and lose it?
