A timelapse ode to clouds and their atmospheric beauty. Sit back, relax and watch the sky move.

As a paraglider pilot I've spent plenty of time with clouds and learning about them; observing them grow and decay, watching them being lit in various stunning colours throughout the day and also flying near and in them (cumulus in particular). For more on clouds, take a trip to cloudappreciationsociety.org

Shot in South Australia during 2010 around Adelaide, Mt Lofty Ranges, Fleurieu Peninsula, Mid North and Flinders Ranges. Over 8800 photos constructed the master timelapse sequences that made the cut but I shot around 30,000 throughout the year collecting sequences.

wow, that was very beautiful, thank you ZenGum.

This just really made me smile
Because they are so obviously having a blast, and the singer has such a beautiful voice.

So of course I had to look up a translation. Which cracked me up even more - the bit about having a poo especially.

Note: this is a rough translation, and since the Korean language does tend to leave the subject out from sentences, the choice between you and I is approximate.

When the round sun rises the first
thing I do is to think happy thoughts...
One, two, three get up from the bed
give a great big yawn like a hippo...
Open both eyes nice and big
stretch out ...
Enjoy the happy imaginations
Don't forget happy happy things.

(short interlude)

In the morning with a refreshing breeze
when I'm chilling out...
When I look even better than usual
and everyhing I put on seems to be even prettier
When I walk listening to your favorite music
when I get to the bus on time...
When the rush hour is especially bad
but the guy in front of me gets up
When everything works out as expected
from now I set my own expectations
When I eat something very tasty
Oh my! Didn't even push but easy trip to the bathroom (LOL "easy trip to the bathroom" is two syllables in Korean)
Oh! When I leave on bonus vacation
Along with him, my love...
Just imagining this makes me feel so happy
Don't forget! Happy happy things.

(interlude)

When I see my friends for the first time in a while
When I just feel so good and I dance! my! ass! off!
When my brain just seems to work well
You don't say! I didn't even study but got a hun-dred
Oh! When you miss that someone
When you understand my feelings
Just imagining this will make you happy
Happy, happy things-

Something that anyone can do
if you want a happy life
Just imagining this will make you happy
Don't forget! Happy happy things.

Knockout.

I showed my son the Dumb Ways to Die video when it was first posted here, and he's got all the boys in his 5th grade singing it now. It's the ear worm of the moment with his group of friends.

[ZenGum]

I find that highly amusing.

I'm not so into poetry performances, but this was worth it. 15-year-old kid wins the NPR "Snap Judgment" Performance of the Year for 2012:

Thanks Clodfobble. I enjoyed that the first couple times I heard it on the radio, and seeing the young man enjoy telling it made it even better. I like the big hug from the host at the end.

Helmet cam footage from one of those crazy bastards who runs toward fires.

Yeah, the soundtrack sucks.
