Venus Moonrise

This video shows a series of image sequences obtained through a simple computer program written to download images from three U.S. National Park web-cameras every 30 minutes. The script ran for a few weeks in late June and early July 2010 and captured a sequence of images from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park and Point Reyes National Seashore. Nights were removed from the sequences along with any damaged images from camera errors (the Point Reyes camera was offline for several days). Frame blending was used to smooth over the jerkiness.

The music is "Venus Moonrise" from Agua Trip's album "Genetics". The earth image is from the famous images taken from the Galileo space probe as it sped away from Earth on its way out into the unknown.
