Very impressive! The rotor is the giveaway. That, and any movement of course which a still pic doesn't show.

It was the wheel wot did it for me as that's the only round thing in the pic. The rotor could easily be another crack int he rock face


Cue the old one:

"Did you see those guys in camouflage clothing walking round the office this morning?"

"No"

"That's because they were in camouflage"

Pretty good effort. Hard to notice that hillside and buildings hiding behind the helicopter.
