This Timelapse of Canada’s Landscapes Spans 3,400 Miles and 54,000 Photos

Here’s a new timelapse video that captures the epic beauty of Canada’s vast landscapes. Photographer and filmmaker Florian Nick of Stuttgart, Germany, spent 6 weeks traveling 5,500km (~3,400mi) across British Columbia and Alberta, hunting for beautiful scenery. After shooting 54,000 photos, he turned them into this 3.5-minute video titled “ALIVE.”

It’s “a timelapse film which takes you on a vivid journey through wild forests, along the shores of crystal lakes and up the hills of massive mountains,” Nick writes. “By making this project, I want to raise awareness of our wonderful planet earth which we have the privilege to be part of.

“That’s why we have to take responsibility for it – for the place where we are alive.”
