A Morning Drone Adventure Over the Lock of Lot
In an attempt to make the most out of every day, I'm always on the lookout for cool spots to fly my drone. One such spot I had noticed during my commute to the office was the lock of Lot in Beersel. The combination of the industrial landscape, winding river, and towering wind turbines seemed like the perfect place for some aerial photography.
On this particular morning, the stars aligned. There was no traffic jam for once (a rare miracle in itself), and the sun was shining brilliantly. So, out came my DJI Mini 3 Pro!
First Shot: Capturing the Sunrise
The first image captures the beauty of the sunrise casting a golden hue over the landscape. The stillness of the river, the shadow of the wind turbines, and the awakening town below – it was a picturesque start to the day. Nature and technology harmonized perfectly in this shot.
Panoramic Beauty: The Entire Landscape
Next, I switched to panoramic mode to get the full breadth of the area. This shot reveals the true expanse of the lock of Lot, stretching from the quaint houses to the expansive fields. The canal snakes through the town like a lifeline, and the wind turbines stand as sentinels of green energy. It's a testament to how modern infrastructure can coexist with natural beauty.
Close-Up: The Lock and Canal
For a closer look, I flew the drone directly above the lock. The intricate details of the canal infrastructure become more apparent. The symmetry and precision of the engineering work are impressive, with the surrounding greenery providing a contrasting softness. This perspective offers a unique insight into the lock's role in the local water management system.
The Stretch of Wind Turbines
In the final shot, I captured a line of wind turbines marching alongside the canal. Their blades slice through the air, generating clean energy for the town. The juxtaposition of the man-made structures against the vast sky is striking. It’s a visual reminder of our progress towards a sustainable future.
Wrapping Up
Flying the DJI Mini 3 Pro over the lock of Lot was a rewarding experience. The mix of industrial elements, natural scenery, and renewable energy sources provided a variety of stunning visuals. It’s incredible what you can discover and capture with a bit of curiosity and a drone. Until the next adventure, keep exploring and stay curious!
Just saying, this might be my new favorite spot for morning flights. Back in my day, all we had were disposable cameras and a lot of imagination!

Looks like a great place to fly. It does make me think about the placement of those windmills and question like many the design of them. Seems like them being located near the canal like that would make them even more prone to bird strikes. It's interesting to see some of the new turbine designed ones starting to become more popular. Regardless, great pics as always and love the one over the lock and the one with the longer trail of windmills.
Thank you! Yes, it’s a very interesting area to fly, due to several things, one of them is that it is near Brussels, so there’s a lot going on of course :-) Unfortunately, flying in or in the vicinity of Brussels is forbidden of course…
Ah yes, those pesky rules, lol. I was actually just looking at the DJI FlySafe maps to see where I can fly near here. It's challenging here due to the number of airports to fly without going through the authorization hassle. It actually looks like most of the beach areas near me are ok, and just have a warning area and altitude limit except for the direct flight path right around Daytona. I'm charging batteries as we speak and intend to get out a bit today.
Good one! Have fun! I love flying at the beach (but don’t often have the chance…)
