Aerial Drone Pan over Quito, Ecuador with Smooth Cityscape Movement

This video features a high-altitude aerial pan over the historic city of Quito, Ecuador, captured using a drone in broad daylight under gently overcast skies. The camera executes a smooth, steady panning motion across the city's sprawling urban landscape, shifting elegantly from left to right. In the foreground, colorful colonial-era rooftops dominate, while in the background, modern high-rises punctuate the skyline. A prominent highlight is the dramatic neo-Gothic silhouette of the Basilica del Voto Nacional, standing amid a tapestry of older stone buildings and lush pockets of urban greenery.
