Aerial Video for Geography Nerds

January 21, 2019 • #

I’ve discovered a phenomenon on YouTube of these types of videos — long many-hour clips of calm scenery or environments for the purposes of relaxation or background ambience.

Like I said in a post about cycling a few posts ago, these aerial views are incredibly pleasing to watch and nerd out over the topography and landscapes they’re flying over. The clip above contains footage over Croatia, but isn’t specific about where. I did some searching around on the web and Google Earth and narrowed it down to Krka National Park (the first 45 minutes or so). Those waterfalls and river valleys are incredible.

I like to put these streams on full screen on the second display when I go into focus mode.

The Earth in 8K

Mesmerizing, hypnotic video shot in 8K pointed straight down from an airplane. It looks like these were originally shot for Apple to use as their “Aerial” screensaver seen on Apple TV.

I could leave this on a loop in my office all day.
