Remarkable textures and visuals combined with an introspective monologue makes for a resonating piece of art. Combine this with this video, and you have a deadly combination of exploration and adventure.
| Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds – and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.

It was only appropriate! Happy Thanksgiving folks — I know I’m thankful for the opportunity to share inspiring videos to the few and many that may frequent this end of the internet. Make sure you take some time out today to reflect on all of the things that make this life worth living 🙂
| In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: ‘We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice.”

It’s no secret of mine that most of my daydreams consist of the open air and everything that extends beyond it. This video made me feel small, but also made realize how incredibly large our world is, how insignificant some of our problems are in the big picture. Go ahead and turn the volume low on the video above, and pair it with this monologue by Carl Sagan. It’s said that he spoke these words after seeing this photograph of Earth, the farthest photograph ever taken of Earth, by the Voyager 1 space probe.
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is one of the largest hot air balloon events in the world that takes place each year, sending droves of hot air balloons into the open skies. This year Knate Myers was fortunate enough to capture the scene in an incredible timelapse that takes the experience to an entirely different level. Have a look!
