Jan Jelenik - Do Dekor (set to gorgeous time-lapse view from space)

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS from Michael König on Vimeo.

I have posted this Jan Jelenik track previously on this blog but never with such a stunning visual experience. This is one of Jan Jelenik's best tracks and I am crazy glad Michael Konig chose it to use as a soundtrack for this time-lapse piece. There is something very earthly and human about this track but, at the same time, the way it sounds it is anything but earthly and human. Did that make any sense? Don't answer that.

Answer this: What’s it like to fly above Earth and observe the landscape? This new time-lapse video from Michael König shot aboard the International Space Station gives you a view of Earth that was only available to a select handful of astronauts until now.

Witness the swirling Aurora Borealis from above, or effortlessly glide across the world’s largest deserts in seconds. At minute 2:26 you can see lightning storms over the Sinai Peninsula, as the ISS flies north and east towards Turkey and Central Asia. And if you watch closely throughout, it’s not difficult to make out major landmarks, such as the Nile River in Egypt, the Great Lakes, in the U.S., or the boot shape of Italy.

Space is the place!
