2023 Drone Photo Calendar Celebrates the Beauty of Owensboro, Kentucky

Over the weekend, I called the Owensboro-Daviess County Christmas Parade for Owensboro Times. That parade coverage featured several cameras positioned along the parade route on 2nd Street downtown. The most stunning images of the night, however, were captured by a drone flying above the parade route and getting shots of Owensboro from the east and the west.  The shots were fantastic and the parade looked tremendous against the backdrop of the Blue Bridge, the other downtown landmarks and a glorious sunset that truly set the mood for the magic of the endless Christmas lights displayed on the parade floats and entries.

If you want to see some of those images, check out the footage from the parade.  It's sensational.

There's no doubt the aerial views of our town are magnificent and, now, there's a 2023 calendar that pays tribute to and immortalizes that beauty.  Chosen Creations just released "Eyes to the Skies Owensboro Edition 2023."

The photos for the calendar were captured by four different local drone operators/photographers: Daniel Rigling, Adam Paris, Josh Murphy and Chris Conley.

I am friend with all four photographers who landed their pics in the 2023 calendar.  Chris, who owns and operates 270 Drones Aerial Imagery, submitted five photos for consideration. Each one made the cut (which Chris is very excited about) and is featured in the calendar.

This particular photo is Chris' favorite!

Chris says, "I sent a drone up above the fog at sunrise. Those are the OMU stacks in the distance." It's gorgeous!

Chris' other photos featured in the calendar are as well.

The "Eyes to the Skies" 2023 Calendars are now ready for purchase.  Each calendar is $22 and, according to Laura Spencer Murphy (from Chose Creations), "They make the best Christmas gifts."

The first batch will be printed and ready the first week of December.  If you are interested in ordering "one or twenty", you can message Chosen Creations via Facebook.
