It is not real, it’s already an edit. If it’s actually drones, it’s one drone that someone flew around and took a bunch of pics of. If it was multiple drones, like a drone show, they would crash in each others’s downdraft. Particularly the ones making up the flying(lol) buttresses.

But in any case, pretty incredible artwork. I would love to know the artist.

I live in Whitby and this isn't real. It was a Photoshop, alongside a few other monuments, as a demo. Trust me, there is NO way you could do this with current drone tech at Whitby Abbey, it's impossibly windy up on the cliffs.

Thanks for clarifying, I went to Whitby as a tourist years ago and thought the same thing.

Interesting to see what the ruins would have looked like in any case though

Oh wow yeah, I just looked at a virtual reconstruction,

No flying buttresses, center elevated section didn’t have a pointed roof, it was like a castle turret

The “drone” photoshop definitely took some liberties

Man I used to go to Whitby every year to visit my nanna. I went to Scarborough last week and it's made me want to go back to Whitby again. Been over 10 years now. I need to take my son...

I think I'm just in a mood, but fuck this is aggravating all the way down.

Not drones? Fine, still cool. Oh, not actually how the building looked? Well, maybe we don't know for sure and it's an educated guess. Oh, we have reconstructions to use as a guide and it's not even similar? THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS EVER FOR!?

Oh damn I had no idea, thanks for pointing that out

Edit: upon looking a little closer it looks like the reconstruction I linked ignores the arches on the walls which makes me skeptical of how accurate it is

It would cost far too much to reconstruct all of the abbeys that have fallen into ruin.

It would destroy the cultural and religious significance that the ruined abbeys highlight.

They’re protected properties and councils/government would have a hard time agreeing on the projects to rebuild.

Most of the UK aren’t catholic so rebuilding abbeys would seem like a huge job for a minority group.

If we wanted to make a statement rebuilding something like this, or create some kind of public works program, places like Rievaulx or lindisfarne would get my vote.

I'd rather Whitbys stayed ruined as it is. Much more on theme I feel.
