That went by fast.

It’s been one year since The Star launched our aerial puzzle feature we call “Mystery from above”.

Every week for the past year we have shared a video shot with a drone showing a Kansas City-area landmark from a vantage point high overhead and asked our readers to make their best guess at what the landmark is. It sounds simple enough, but seeing things from high overhead doesn’t always give us the familiar perspective we have on things when we’re standing on the ground.

A new “Mystery from above” publishes every Wednesday on kansascity.com.

Here are a few of our favorites.
