To create this stunning time-lapse video featuring landscapes from the Pacific Northwest, Oregon photographer John Eklund of The Art Of Time-Lapse weaved together about 260,000 photographs he had spent about a year capturing.
"I originally got into landscape photography because I had an interest in capturing the beauty in nature," Eklund said in an email to the Smithsonian Magazine.
"Then one day, I discovered a photographer online by the screen name of Mockmoon on YouTube. I was blown away by his timelapse work of the stars and Milky Way. After discovering timelapse photography, I viewed the typical landscape photography as static. With timelapse photography, its more dynamic. It captures the movement and changes in light that happens constantly in nature."
In this new video, entitled "Purely Pacific Northwest," beautiful natural landscapes, such as Crater Lake in southern Oregon and Mount Shuksan in Washington, from Eklund's home turf are not only brought to life but are given an almost timeless, other-worldly quality.

(22,000 posts)I'm from Oregon and living overseas. I miss the Pacific NW so much and only get home every two years. This reminds me of just how beautiful the place I grew up in is.
