100% real. No 3D animation involved. Just a combination of lighting, a Canon 5D mk II on a motorized dolly, location and timing. :)

Tears shot out of my eyes at such high velocity they broke my computer screen and it sounded like an orchestra of cellos.

Three things I am completely in love with: Jonsi from Sigur Ros, The Universe and Mother Nature. This is so very beautiful, that it actually brought me to tears. Thank you for this.. Absolutely breath taking.

"As long as there have been humans, we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Where are we? Who are we? We find, that we live on an insignificant planet, of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of the universe, in which there are far more galaxies, then people. WE make our world significant, by the courage of our questions, and by the depth of our answers." - Carl Sagan

@kickingbearlotus it's either Sigur Ros, or Jonsi- the lead singer of Sigur Ros in one of his independent tracks.

If you haven't checked them out, check out my YouTube page favorites- I have a good bit of their stuff on there. They are unbelievable.

Makes one think about moving to the desert.

God is the finest artist of all time... What beauty lays below and above us... This is so beautiful. Thank you for producing it and sharing it with us.

What's the song? It's very tragically beautiful. :)
