I’ve seen a bunch of timelapse videos that showcase Alaska in amazing ways, but I’ve never wanted to post one until I found Zan Butler‘s Anchorage By Winter. His 7 month long process of filming really paid off since he’s getting a lot of recognition for the video. I love the Aurora Borealis shot about 1:30. I’ve only seen it this strong once in real life…it’s amazing that he caught it on film.

From Zan:
“So this is what I did over this past winter when I was not making people coffee.
It’s all time-lapse footage shot in and around Anchorage, Alaska, with the emphasis on the nature around the city rather then on the people and buildings. This is a collection of the nicer stuff I shot of the northern lights, stars, sunset, and the tide. All of this was shot between October 2011 and April 2012.”
