October leading into November is the best time of the year to view fall foliage in Bucks County.

I needed to get a bird’s eye view of landmarks and points of interest in Bucks County. This is possible with technology using unmanned aerial vehicles, a.k.a., drones, but I wanted to show a different view of Bucks County by getting high in the sky while taking video, 360 Virtual Reality panoramas and photos of locations in Bucks County.

As a Bucks County native, I've always had a great appreciation for the area. My boyfriend and I love to travel with his Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and photograph our adventures.

We love exploring local roads and parks, and are…

It was exciting to climb the tower and take in the amazing views. You can't help but think about George Washington while you are…
