Stormy desert The Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia is not noted for its thunderstorms, but every now and again circumstances will conspire to deliver us an unusual sight such as this one.

What do you do?

I do travel.

I’m smiling again, but this time I know why. I’m living again, but this time I am aware. I’ve come a long way to get here. I’m finally awake.

I.c.f.

Hope to reach this state of self-awareness very soon.

And then I realized maybe it’s the writer inside me that wants to lead a life of surprises. Here and there, never in one place. That may be shying away from commitments but fuck it, I don’t want that picket fence story. I want my bare feet to ache from traveling and exploring different crevices of the mind and earth.

This is one of the most beautiful verses I’ve read this morning. Lines I can totally empathize with.

Rooms carved into columns of eroding volcanic ash, Cappadocia, Turkey

[earthstory]

Iceland is a country that even after visiting, I still have difficulty believing exists. Snow-capped volcanoes piercing the skies, centuries-old glaciers covering the landscape like a quilt, dark water the color of ash folding up onto a black sand beach, and don’t even get me started on the sunsets that last for hours.

While incredibly harsh, this land is also graceful, full of quiet moments where all you hear is the tiny whisper as snowflakes fall on your face and melt, all you feel is the gentle spring of the moss that covers everything beneath your feet, and all you see is the Aurora Borealis dancing overhead. These and hundreds of other experiences are what I attempted to capture in this film of one of my favorite countries on Earth.

It’s on my list

Prepare yourself to soar through the fairy tale landscape of majestic Cappadocia in a spellbinding new video experience from Turkish Airlines and renowned filmmaker Rob Whitworth.

Experience the towering fairy chimney formations, immense subterranean cities, stone-carved mansions, and inimitable cultural energy that make Cappadocia one of the world’s most unforgettable travel destinations.

Shot in the filmmaker’s signature flow motion style, the video takes viewers on a time-distorting, gravity-defying tour of Cappadocia’s unique natural and manmade attractions, while immersed in a lyrical narrative of the region’s cultural and historical pedigree. Filmed in brilliant 4K resolution using cutting-edge hyperlapse techniques, the video presents one of Turkish Airline’s most amazing destinations as it has never been seen before.

Videographer takes a trip through Northern Michigan, featuring waterfalls and a great shot of fog rolling off of a lake. The editing is interesting - the transitions between the shots all are zooming. Be prepared.

Discover the Minoan civilization

Crete has many archaeological sites. The Minoan civilization was one of the most significant in the ancient world. The key feature of this civilization was the joy of life and the lack of a warlike disposition. Excavations in Phaistos, Knossos, Palaikastro in Siteia and elsewhere, brought to light great monuments, but mainly presented a civilization so radiant and dedicated to simple, everyday joys, that it seemed invincible.
