•  Info Aerial view of Kiruna church in Kiruna, the northernmost town in Sweden. The church is one of Sweden's largest wooden buildings and was consecrated in 1913. Created, uploaded and nominated by -- ArildV (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- ArildV (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Good way to show the shape of the unusual building, so big EV. -- Colin (talk) 16:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Question Is this taken from a plane or helicopter? I can't find any tall buildings nearby, or did you fit your camera in a drone? --cart-Talk 16:53, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
  •  Info The photo is taken from a helicopter. We spent a weekend in Kiruna (supported by Wikimedia Sweden) taking photos from land and air of the city before the demolition of the old town center. Soon Wikimedia Commons will have high resolution aerial photos of the entirely town and the surrounding mines.--ArildV (talk) 17:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

• That sounds like a fantastic undertaking! It's not every day that a whole town gets moved because of a mine and I'm glad to hear they are taking the documenting seriously. --cart-Talk 18:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

• W.carter, I really don't know about any possibility to attach a DSLR on a drone and take photos with it in flight. If yes, this probably would be quite a heavy drone, which needs special regulations (permission, pilot's license etc.) to launch it. --A.Savin 19:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

• A.Savin You are probably right about the permissions and such, I'm no expert. If you Google "drone for DSLR camera" (text and or photos) there are quite a lot of them so not outside the realm of possibility, knowing that users here come with all kinds of unknown skills. --cart-Talk 19:44, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

• Anyway there's no commonly available product of this kind so far. --A.Savin 20:07, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Maybe the light was a little dull on that Arctic early afternoon, but this is a solid picture and good documentation. There's something a little distracting at the right margin (the cut-off black structure), but I am moderately supporting this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Autumn colours are pleasant. --A.Savin 19:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
