I agree, you would only need to publish the photos with a very small amount of text pertaining to location.
Apart from a large number of pilots, i think a fair few climbers and treckers would buy it solely because the images are so unique.

Hi VF
getting off the Mountain, cloud surfing searching for holes not fun
Wow mate, you are living on the dangerous side, and some the heights shown in your pictures, I really take my hat off to you
Fly safe

Hmmmmm up here so close to satellites orbiting, if we wait for all nice & easy conditions, then we would fly maybe 20days a year & a lot more people would die........ a lot more.
It's a balance between weighing up manageable risks to save lives
Happy landings 🚁🚁🚁

Flying with your knees? I (4000 hours on fixed wing) have only once tried to fly a helicopter and found it almost impossible using my hands.
When I worked in Westland, I was told that one of the test pilots used to demonstrate flying a Gazelle with just his knees. I didn't believe him. I guess I was wrong.
Love your photos - keep them coming!

Good morning fellow Rotorheads
I was trained by 'Buck Ryan' & he made me fly with my knees, left hand, even body weight shifting. It's not so hard once You get used to it
gives more options & choices as to how to manage self & cockpit.
Thanks for the positive feedback greatly appreciated
Cheers
