These Incredible Aerial Views Of Nebraska’s Capital Will Leave You Breathless

Seeing familiar sights from a new perspective makes everything seem a little more magical, doesn't it? Even if you're looking at the same place you pass by twice a day, seeing it from a birds' eye view gives you a whole new set of eyes. Digital Sky, a drone company based in Lincoln, is in the business of providing new perspectives on the sights we see every day...and introducing sights that we might not otherwise get the chance to see.

Using an impressive fleet of drones, Digital Sky travels around the state to shoot pictures and videos (among other important jobs). We were lucky enough to be granted access to their collection of aerial photos of the capital city, and wow - you've never seen Lincoln like this.

1. The columns in Pioneers Park.

2. The sunset as seen from inside Pioneers Park.

3. Downtown Lincoln at night.

4. The city really lights up after the sun goes down.

5. It's a far different experience than being stuck down on street level, isn't it?

6. The College of Business Administration Building under construction on the UNL campus.

7. The winter sun gently sets on the north side of Lincoln.

8. Looking at the sunset from UNL's City Campus.

9. A stunning thunderstorm on the north side of Lincoln, looking toward Havelock.

10. Memorial Stadium is all lit up at night.

11. The big stadium fills the city with light.

12. We wouldn't ordinarily call the stadium beautiful, but from this angle and in this lighting, that's exactly what it is.

13. The Nebraska State Capitol building looks rather majestic from up here.

14. It's a familiar sight, but we're usually looking up at the capitol building in awe.

15. This shot of the sunset from the perspective of the capitol building is nothing short of stunning.

16. Looking down on the iconic building gives you a view of the courtyards.

17. The iconic Golden Sower from up close.

18. This photo was taken from the UNL campus. It shows the Ralph Mueller Bell Tower in the foreground, Love Library in the middle, and downtown Lincoln in the background.

19. UNL's Student Union from way up high.

20. Memorial Stadium is still impressive in the light of day.

21. Another perspective on Memorial Stadium in the sunlight.

22. Watching a storm approach the capital.

23. Looking toward the south, storm clouds move in toward the city.

24. A wider shot of the same approaching storm. Beautiful!

25. The sun rises over east Lincoln.

26. Here are the Haymarket pedestrian bridge along with the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

27. This is the Nebraska Innovation Campus, which is located on the old state fairgrounds.

28. So much of Lincoln all in one shot: Pinnacle Bank Arena, The Railyard, downtown Lincoln, the Haymarket Pedestrian Bridge, and Memorial Stadium.
