I find this video extremely entertaining. I have watched it a dozen times or more.

I have always enjoyed time lapse photography, even if it is just a movie of a flower opening I find it fascinating.

Nice. I've always loved it too. I have no idea why.

I'm big into the sunrise to sunset shots, especially when there's an ocean involved.

I didn't realize how shitty QT player is on XP. If I move the mouse off of the video, it keeps stopping randomly.

It will depart at 20 minutes to 5.

These videos are a sobering reminder of how dangerously close we are to everything happening at once.

Here's one that I shot with my DSLR of our balloon fiesta. It's a lot cooler when you're watching it in 720p compared to YouTube. Next year I won't make all the scenes drag on as long, I think they do in this video a little.

How did you do the time lapse? Computer controlled or could the camera do it itself?

The first sequence is a perfect demonstration of the inversion layer that makes Albuquerque great for ballooning.

I used the Canon TC-80N3 remote which does interval, long exposure and a few others. I just set up the camera and start the remote to take a pic for every 3 seconds (the fireworks was one every second).

That is really really awesome! Try doing shorter scenes from different angles next year though, you are right about them dragging on too long, especially the fireworks one.

You have to have an appreciation of history to understand.

An appreciation of history and spending probably millions of dollars to do that are two completely different things.

No, they aren't. It's just money.

I have an appreciation of history. I've stood in the coliseum of Rome and on the Great Wall of China and felt the history there. I've been to Stonehenge and Avebury to marvel at the ingenuity and persistence of our ancestors. I've visited who knows how many Indian towns and villages in the American Southwest. I've just recently discovered a fascination with the history of pre-Columbian American cultures, in particular the Mexica, and am starting to read up on those. I get the appreciation of history.

I don't get spending all that money to move a relatively new church across the country. What was wrong with where it was before? Wasn't the context of the surrounding area important to its history? And how much history could it possibly have built up in 100 years? I walk past older churches than that every day in Boston, and graveyards full of people who died hundreds of years before that church was even built.

I get that it may have held significance for the people who grew up with it in their town. But it's not in their town anymore, now is it? So, I ask again, what's the point?

Some things are worth more than money. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

No need to get upset about it.

Who's upset? I get it. I just don't get the point of moving the church. What was wrong with where it was before?

Baraka's awesome. It should be required viewing.

Right, but how do those things necessitate moving the church. All those things would still have been there for everyone if the church had stayed where it was.

No. You don't get it.

The person who owned the land was going to tear it down, and people who appreciated it and its history wanted to save it. So they moved it.

You don't get it. Accept that and move on.

Why didn't you say that in the beginning? Not once was it mentioned that the church would be torn down otherwise. Not once.

Well my answer was pertaining to your original question as to why they didn't just build a NEW church.

As far as why they had to MOVE it in the first place, I don't know. I am sure there was a valid reason.

Well my initial comment was meant as a joke; obviously people will spend their money however they deem appropriate. Though I was curious about the motivation for moving it, especially as doing a little research on the issue revealed nothing other than that the 'cross-country' move they claimed to have made was only 12 miles to the next county or something.

But then people decided to go and take it all seriously, so I decided to play along...

That's a sweet time-lapse. It's even better when listening to an endless loop of TMBG's "Istanbul (not Constantinople)."

Life is like a clay pigeon -- sooner or later, someone is going to shoot you down and even if they miss you'll still wind up shattered and broken in the end.
