Very cool ....

"Here is our version of the #tetrischallenge. The Tetris Challenge started back in September when Zurich police published an image on social media of two officers lying on the ground, surrounded by the contents of their car. Since that initial post, public services units and Air Forces from around the world have joined in on the media trend, artistically photographing their work equipment (and even themselves) laid out in tidy rows. For us, this is a creative way of raising awareness about our mission to preserve history and inspire future generations. Please consider a donation at:" http://www.dixiewing.org/donate/

Thanks to Andrew Johnson of Georgia Aerial Systems & Photography for the drone work and Django Studios for the retouching work.
