Video: More Than Just Parks - Acadia

Our friends from More Than Just Parks have returned with another stunning video, this time taking us on an incredible journey through Acadia National Park. Tucked away in the wilds of Maine, Acadia is one of those places that many travelers forget about when planning a visit to a park. But as you'll seen in this video, that is a major mistake. With its beautiful coastline, thick forests, and high bluffs, Acadia ranks right up there with the best parks in the entire U.S. system, and it is a can't-miss destination if you're heading to the northeast part of the country.

For those unfamiliar with the More Than Just Parks project, it is the brainchild of brothers Will and Jim Pattiz. Their goal is to create a short film for all 59 of America's national parks, and each of their works has been amazing so far. Be sure to watch this one, than jump over to the MTJP website to see their other videos as well.

The Dolomites and Italian Alps make up some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Europe. We're reminded of that in this video, which uses timelapse photography to dramatic effect.

This is a peaceful look at a part of the world that is stunningly beautiful.

Video: The Matterhorn in Timelapse

The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in all of Europe, if not the world. Its striking profile is legendary, and many great mountaineers began their careers on its slopes. In this video we get an all-too-brief look at the mountain through timelapse imagery that is breathtakingly beautiful. The clip is actually a trailer for a much longer film that will be released soon, and if that video comes anywhere close to the quality of this one, I'll be sharing it as well. Sit back and enjoy a minute of pure bliss as we take in the Matterhorn in timelapse.
