Time-Lapse Video: Glowing Cities

Check out this beautiful timelapse video showing a rare perspective on city lights by James Leng. (via)

In the description, he writes:

On my night time flight back to SF from Amsterdam, I noticed that the lights from cities were making the clouds glow. Really spectacular and ethereal - it was really seeing the impact of urban environments from a different perspective. Each glow or squiggle represents one town or city!

Luckily the flight was half empty, so I was able to set up an improvised stabilizer mound made up of my bags, pillows, and blankets for my camera to sit on.

the two videos are wonderful. really soothing to watch on repeat. (I think I might have lost interest with the 20 minute flooding version)

I’m going to reshare both on twitter and the tumblr I keep with some lit friends!

thanks for posting!
