I just love this video shot by some dudes in Switzerland. Gorgeous footage, cool music…enjoy.

I have the coolest friends. I really do. The geekiest too. My friend Amber has a Life List, where she ticks off things she wants to do before she kicks the bucket. She’s done things like getting a tattoo of a feather on her foot, making a blueberry pie from blueberries she handpicked, and hiking in the rainforest. She wants [...]

I am a sucker for time lapse videos. People are shooting some fantastic footage of landscapes, cityscapes, and everything in between.
