Gorgeous time-lapse cinematography by Andrew Studer.
Interesting that what we see in four minutes represents a year of his life spent filming the Oregon landscape.
Particularly interesting juxtaposed against the narrative by Alan Watts, who will never appreciate this video.
A native Brit who became a student and leading western exponent of Buddhist and Taoist thought, author of Way of Zen, and a psychedelic pioneer and counter-culture celebrity, Watt died in his sleep in 1973.
That's 40 years ago. A unit of time.
As the seconds pass and the images flash from sunrise to sunset, Watt argues there is no such thing as time in the natural world.
There is such a thing as rhythm, he says. Rhythm of tides, rhythm of biological processes . . . but time as such is a social institution, just like languages, numbers, measurements, inches metres, longitude, latitude . . .
He doesn't mention the rhythm of film or the rhythm of music or the rhythm of speech.
Those are the rhythms that make you forget time as you watch this four-minute year in Studer's life.

Wow, how do you know all this?.
