This year's Drone Photo Award winners have been announced. Let's take a look at some of the award category winners. This photo won the "abstract" category. It's the Colorado River basin from above, showing the impact of drought on the land. The picture is titled "The Exhausted Lungs of Earth"

This picture won in the urban category. It shows a playground in Poland, and you can see sun shining in from the top.

Next up, the winner of the people category. This one is called "Beach Bliss", and shows people relaxing in the sand in Cascais, in Portugal.

This is the Austfonna ice cap in Svalbard. The photographer said he had to get there by ship, and noticed the ice cap was melting earlier than usual this year.

Shhh... this elephant is snoozing! Dhanu Parad called this picture "Sleeping Giant", and you can see why.

This is the winner of the sports category. It shows Nathan Paulin, a famous tightrope walker, traversing across a 200m long "highline" 2460 metres in the mountains.

This was the winning picture, by Or Adar. It shows a protest in Israel from above.
