  7. I have seen this one before, loved it then loved it this time. Makes you wonder doesn’t it, why aren’t we fighting harder to preserve all this majesty, this great and wondrous land of ours. I have been to many of the places featured, have always simply stood in awe.

  8. Escapism?

    It is not that I did not get swept away in the splendid emotion in-motion of landscapes presented, I did in fact. We get swept away by it’s glow, just as a child’s face lights up when they see their mother. However. I still would rather experience all things in real time. Upfront and personal. Just plunk down in one spot for 24 hours an watch it happen, which I have done at times; most memorable the Bay of Fundy tides and an on the porch of a log cabin in the middle of a mountain meadow in northern British Columbia. This vid strikes a cord in me, not so much in it’s beauty, but rather how we see ourselves on this planet. We are led to believe Earth, Nature and Living is something to escape from -we are after all an insecure lot. I belong on this earth and I happy to be here -I cannot escape it nor do I want to, I will take the good with the bad. Nature is worth protecting, it is after all the very essences of our being.

  11. Very nice, Frank. For me, the time-lapse photography accentuates the reality of astronomy and that the Earth really is a globe. How odd, I’m thinking, that our species has been around for some 200,000 years and only in its last thousand or so, a mere half of 1%, has it realized that. The evidence was there all along. Human history is a mere blink of they eye compared to geological history and we now live in an explosion of change, and that change is a consequence of our own making.
