Konrad Adenauer said: "We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon." So ends this beautiful look at the sky we share around the world and how that sky changes depending on the location from which you view it.
The sky has eternally been a source of shared humanity; whereas civilizations may be separated by geographic, temporal, and cultural identities, what lies above has often been a uniting feature from which beauty, spirituality, power, nourishment, and life all radiate forth. Photographer Chris Pritchard has paid homage to that by filming the sky across the world, including Los Angeles, Tokyo, Singapore, New Zealand, Death Valley, Yosemite, and much more. Matching the epic scope of its subject, the film took 5.5 years to make and compresses 36 hours of footage from 42 locations into three rapid-fire minutes.
The video captures everything from a meteor and its resulting vapor trail in the Eastern Sierra to tranquil stars poised above a pool of light created by Los Angeles being shrouded in fog. In addition to the visual beauty captured by the time-lapse, there's a striking reminder of the vastness that lies above our lives on the ground.
