My strongest memories of my trip to Ireland involves hitch-hiking from Galway to Clifden and walking past peat bogs edged with stone walls along the way. This video by bigbeninjax captures the essence of that trip by weaving together images of landscape, buildings and people. From the wide vista angles to intimate close-ups, a few minutes of viewing, offer a trip to Ireland from the comfort of where ever you're watching.

There is text throughout that sets the tone of transitions from one place and one theme to another. Halfway through, there's a kaleidoscope effect that works quite well, as does the music's mesmerizing effect. For people wondering what to do with those journey of a lifetime shots, here's one way. Pay attention to the timing of each shot. It's about right for giving the viewer time to absorb one before moving on to another.
