If you wanted to nap in peace, you'd think the top of a wind turbine would be a pretty good place to try.

Unfortunately, this snoozing man didn't anticipate a drone flying overhead.

Footage taken by the drone shows the man stretched out on top of the 200-foot-high wind turbine with an open door nearby. It appears he climbed up a ladder inside the turbine to reach the top.

Once there, he had incredible views over green fields and quiet neighborhoods.

The drone operator, Kevin Miller, spotted him while on holiday in Rhode Island.

In the footage, the man gives him a friendly wave and watches as the drone gets closer. He throws up his hands as if to ask: "Can I help you?"

The drone eventually leaves him in peace.
