GRAVETTE -- Residents of Gravette are accustomed to driving Arkansas Highway 59 and visiting Walmart's Neighborhood Market and other area businesses. They drive the streets of town to their homes and recognize them from ground level. But it's a little different looking down from above, and an aerial view made possible by drone technology provides a new perspective.
Over the holidays, Brandon Presley, of the Kansas City area, was in town visiting with Kelton Presley, his grandfather, and he brought with him a camera-equipped drone and took a few photos of the city from above. (His grandmother was the late Jean Presley, and his father is Tommy Presley.)
Brandon is the founder of a start-up drone business called Drone Finder. Through his website, www.dronefinder.com, he connects people with drone operators around the country and makes it possible for his clients to obtain aerial photos and video of homes, businesses, places and events.
Brandon, a regular visitor to Gravette, says his favorite establishment in town is Grumpy's Coffee. No doubt, many serious coffee drinkers would agree.
While in Gravette, Brandon obtained an aerial view above his grandfather's house on First Avenue with his own drone. Lifting off, the drone captured images in each direction, as well as looking directly down over several locations. The photos on this page were provided by him as a courtesy to our readers.
