Drone pictures show Sussex from the skies in 2022

We have seen storms, flooding and even wildfires in our county - and drone photographs have shown them all from above.

The Argus has put together a roundup of some incredible drone pictures of Sussex from 2022.

1. Early spring sunshine

We were graced with some wonderful weather this year. Brighton never looks better than with blue skies above.

2. Bizarre new perspective on the South Downs

At first it is hard to make out this photograph. Michael Brown, a drone photographer, had some fun over the South Downs National Park with this image.

3. Alfriston flooding

Is it a year in Sussex without flooding at Alfriston? This dramatic photograph shows the calm after the storm which caused the River Cuckmere to buyrst its banks.

4. Barbados or Brighton?

As we are well in to the bleak midwinter, it is hard to believe that the Palace Pier has ever looked so vibrant. 

This photograph from 2022 makes us excited for next summer.

Brighton or Barbados? You decide...
