[video, sci] Three gorgeous videos
coilhouse has turned me on to the timelapse nature videos of Terje Sørgjerd. Of the most recent one, "The Arctic Light", he writes: My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser. What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.
The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact same time of year, to photograph.
Here's the video:

If you click through to Vimeo, to the side you'll also find his two earlier videos, "The Mountain" ("The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide") and "The Aurora" (which is exactly what it says on the tin.) Both are just as astonishingly beautiful as "The Artic Light".
