A Stunning Time-Lapse Video of The Pacific Northwest

Portland, Oregon photographer John Eklund of The Art of Time-Lapse spent more than a year visiting Pacific Northwest locations and captured a total of more than 260,000 photographs of the incredible scenery he saw. He then turned those photographs into the beautiful time-lapse video you see above titled Purely Pacific Northwest.

I am a photographer from Portland, Oregon. I want to share the beautiful NW region through my eyes with time-lapse photography.

I choose to shoot locations that appeal to the way I would like to interpret the story of time. Here in the Pacific Northwest, there are endless opportunities to document the magnificence of the world around us. I have discovered that when time is the storyteller, a special kind of truth emerges.

Various locations include:

Mt. Shuksan, Crater Lake, Mt. Bachelor, Mount St. Helens, Oregon’s Badlands, Painted Hills, Cape Kiwanda, Mt. Hood, Lost lake, and Cannon Beach
