Basque Heritage by Air Drones, Free Images for Wikipedia
- Basque Country from the air... We know videos made before by helicopter and more recently by drone, there were programs on ETB, today they are common in promotional videos. But this time an interesting novelty: With the help of Wikilari Xabier Cañas and sponsored by Euskal Wikilarien Kultur Elkartea, Ondare Airetik has started to create a series of images and videos, all of them free images.
Here's the spectacular video of Garaño Castle that he uploaded this week.
Garaño has been an uninhabited town of Navarra since the 14th century. Its most spectacular ruin is the castle.
Xabier Cañas has already uploaded other videos, especially from Gipuzkoa. And photographs, like Leaburu's.
The Ondare Airetik initiative was supported financially by EWKE. EWKE is the Wikipedia governance association in Basque. An easy and cheap partner, EUR 5 a year, that can help you make such rich initiatives.
