Yosemite National Park Timelapse in HD

Over the past several months, we’ve come across some pretty amazing time-lapse videos. Around the World in 5 Minutes is one of my favorites and I really enjoyed the production of the music. The ISS Earth time-lapse by Michael Konig also takes us around the world but we got to see it from the astronaut’s point of view.

Sheldon Neil and Colin Delhanty have collaborated to create a stunning time-lapse of Yosemite National Park in high-definition. All the time-lapses were shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and a variety of Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 lenses were used. The video, titled Project Yosemite, shows images of sunrises, sunsets, the bright night sky, and beautiful mountain views.

Exploring Below the Streets – The NYC Underground

New York City has been around for a long time now, and like with any old city worth it’s salt, the place has its fair share of secrets and forgotten places. When people think of urban exploration, they often think of ruined and decaying buildings. That’s true of any place, but have you ever thought about what’s right below your feet?

In this beautiful collection of photographs by urban historian and photographer Steve Duncan, we’re granted a rare glimpse at New York’s extensive underground system of tunnels and

Pictures of a Dust Storm in Phoenix Arizona

A couple of years ago we posted a video that was shot during a mega dust storm in Africa, which was pretty awesome (click here to see it) and turned out to be a very popular post.  Since the majority of our readers are North American, we thought we’d bring you pictures and video of a dust storm that’s a little closer to home.

These amazing (and eerie) pictures are from the major dust storm that took place in Phoenix, Arizona on the evening of July 5, 2012.  Dust storms are a normal thing in Arizona but this one was so big that the local weather station called it a “100 year storm”.  The storm had wind speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and brought visibility to near zero.  The dust storm covered about 100 miles and the dust reached heights of 5,000 feet, almost a mile.

3D Projections on Trees – Clement Briend in Cambodia

I started learning French about 4 months ago after having moved to a French speaking city, and I finally, finally feel like I’m getting some good use out of the language. You see, Clement Briend – the artist responsible for these incredibly illuminating 3D projections – is French, and his entire website happens to be in French as well. What does that mean? Well, it means that I could now get the gist of what he wrote on his about page without using a translation service. Amazing!

Now, these photographs themselves require absolutely no translation. You don’t need to understand French to appreciate how incredibly awesome these projections are. Clement projected these graphics onto various trees around
