2022 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 40

Top contributor Julien Hulin has secured multiple Drone Video of the Week Finalist spots for his drone videos from the Brittany region of northwestern France.  In this amazing piece, he heads southeast to make a video showing the incredible natural beauty of the French Alps region.  The outstanding piece captures some of the spectacular alpine scenery of the area, including massive glaciers and razor-like rock ridges.  At about the 1:43 mark, there's a nice shot of the Pont du Châtelet bridge in the municipality of Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye.  

Former DVOW Finalist Kobebryt brings us this excellent drone video from Portugal.  The video opens with magnificent shots of Pena Palance in Sintra, just northwest of Lisbon, followed by the nearby Castle of the Moors.  Then you'll head south to one of the famous beaches of the Algarve region.  At the :23 mark, you'll see the Cabo de Roca lighthouse, back in Sintra Province.   Other featured locations include Lisbon's 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon (at the :35 mark) and Belem Tower (:43), the northern city of Porto (:53), and more.     

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Kukiiis brings us this stunning drone video from the Azores, a chain of Portuguese islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.  The video was filmed on the island of São Miguel Island, the largest and most populous of the achipelago.  The video opens with some great shots of the sea stacks off the island's western coast, around the municipality of Mosteiros.  At about the 1:03 mark, you'll see the "Elephant Rock", which is situated along São Miguel's northern coastline.

In this video, AirVuz contributor nauj takes us over Japan's Mt. Asama, a volcanic complex on the central island of Honshu.  With a peak altitude of just over 8.4k ft. above sea level (just under 2.6k m), Asama is the most active volcano system on the island.  Situated near the confluence of two important geological arcs, Asama has erupted dozens of times since the beginning of the 20th century, and catastrophically in 1108 and 1783.  The video is a shorter version of a one hour music video.
