Video of the day: The Mountain, El Teide, Spain

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

This video by Terje Sorgjerd, called "The Mountain", came into my Tumblr feed yesterday. I've watched it several times since that first breathtaking viewing and I'm still in awe. This time lapse video was filmed on El Teide--Spain's highest mountain. The mountain is reportedly one of the best places in the world to view the stars and the Teide Observatories call the mountain home.

The video was shot between April 4th-11th, 2011. Sorgjerd is a landscape photographer from Norway and, according the video's Vimeo description, didn't spend much time sleeping during this week-long shoot. With stunning views of the stars, the trees, and even a sandstorm that rolled through during the shoot, watching this video is an easy way to brighten your day in just a few minutes.
