I came across this video today thanks to a post by the band, Orgone, and I really found it stunning. It's a time lapse of landscapes all across Oregon, but I felt that it reached well beyond that and spoke to me, not just as a resident of the Pacific Northwest, but as someone with a broad attachment to the Western wild places.
And while there isn't a step of running in this video, if you've ever run the cirque of an Alpine lake or watched the Milky Way come to life on a nighttime run, you'll feel it's as much about ultrarunning as anything else.

Summer B-Sides: The Almost-Lost Photos of Summer 2011
Over the past week, I ran a short photos series on the Run Junkie Twitter feed that highlights some of the frames I captured over the summer that didn't make it into my singletrack:photos portfolio or on to Run Junkie proper. Until now. Since there's not perfect overlap between my Twitter followers and my regular blog readers, I thought I'd post them here as well. Hope they have something to offer.
