[@CraigKoppel]

This was put together really nice. Cool tadpole find in the beginning. Also nice drone shots capturing the day. 👍

[@Zoomdak]

Thank you! Do you know if there are any flatlands or deserts like this on the East coast?

[@jroseAsmrMukbang]

Wonderful ❤❤

[@Zoomdak]

[@waterfallmadman]

Beautiful place. The rainbow was very cool.

[@Zoomdak]

Thank you! I always feel blessed to see a rainbow :D

[@OSMOneStepMore]

Wow!! How absolutely stunning!!! These are incredible views towards the picturesque area of the Alvord desert. What an amazing upload!!! 🏆

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much. Often mountain peaks are so stunning to explore, but sometimes it's just the opposite of exploring a big flatlands!

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Mr. Zoomdak, Where is snow? hahaha OMGoodness, I almost stop breathing for the entire film, hahhaha I felt like watching numbers of commercials such as 1:07 tadpoles...ahhhh I am not brave enough to grab them hahahahh Quality of structure and positioning, versatility, creativities, so on are remarkable...authentic and playful. Your professionalism reached where you desired to be! Congratulations!!! I cannot wait what will surprise me next.. Ciao Stay warm

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your support! I hope videos like this will garner more views in the future but that's okay. I'll just keep capturing the glory of God's creation and sharing it with others as that's what I've been called to do.

[@ms.kayak7seas]

@@Zoomdak I do believe this creation is our future..love it! Some PPL take time to adopt and accept it. No worries about Number, you will get it sooner or later. PPL need to be educated in a way. Sounds like my new video, Fl spring. haha Some PPL call "Manatee", 'seal' hahahah

[@ervinslens]

Oh, what a powerful scenery! Stunning shots, absolutely and truly stunning!!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much friend! I guess there aren't many deserts like this is Europe.

[@ervinslens]

@@Zoomdak Definitely not

[@williamscriv]

This is fantastic!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much!

[@TrailPerspectiv]

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much, really appreciate your kind words!

[@wildzenventures]

Nicely captured!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much. Have you ever visited the Alvord?

[@discover-montenegro]

Really loved this one, the atmosphere, the shadows and shot's and that rainbow, were u happy you had your drone with you, great work 🥰🥰🥰

[@Zoomdak]

Goodness, this place was so surreal that flying the drone was overwhelming trying to figure out what angles to shoot!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

that was amazing!

[@Zoomdak]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@2bwise11]

My favorite one so far! ❤

[@Zoomdak]

Ah thanks so much! Have you had a chance to visit the Alvord?

[@2bwise11]

Not yet, but someday!

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

Such a cool area! Great job capturing the scenery. Those were some stunning drone shots! Makes me want to head back out that way!

[@Zoomdak]

Such a cool area! When was the last time you were at the Alvord?

[@SavvyExploring]

Interesting find! Seems like the kind of place that should be in Nevada or on some other continent, not Oregon! Thanks for sharing!

[@Zoomdak]

Agreed. One time were driving back from the southwest and woke up at the Salt Flats in Nevada and fell asleep on the Alvord Desert. Quite strange to be in two such surreal places in the same day!
