Stunning 30-day time-lapse taken from a cargo ship

From the Web

The vastness of the world’s oceans is something not many ponder on. Watching this spectacular time-lapse of a cargo ship’s journey over the course of a month will infuse you with just one aspect of the oceanic magnificence of Gaia and the Universe.

Sailing in the open sea
is a truly unique way
to grasp how significantly small
we are in this beautiful world.


YouTuber JeffHK took 80,000 photos over a 30-day travel period through thunderstorms, torrential rain and busy traffic, resulting in this 10-minute video.

Ideally, put this on full screen, sit back, and let it all wash over you.
