Stunningly beautiful time-lapse portrait of Portland

(CBS News) It is the middle of the work week.  The day is late and night is settling in here on the East coast. So let's all take a moment to reflect with something of beauty. Something with time-lapse. Something like the above video.  Watch and feel the calm just wash over you.

The stunningly gorgeous Vimeo video was shot and edited by Lance Page (with original music by Hisham Dahud and Derrek Domino) who writes about the work:

"Weathering Spring - Portland Time-Lapse" is an artistic documentation of the Portland spring using time-lapse photography. It is a culmination of nearly 3 months of work, over 64,000 photos making up 83 different time-lapse clips (about 45 of which made it into the final cut), 800 GB of hard drive space and one very exciting spring season in Portland. The video provides an epic visual roller coaster ride through the city's stormiest days on into the night displaying glimmering city lights and intense traffic and back into the daylight with those beautiful sunny spring days that lead us into the long awaited pacific northwest summer.

And suddenly I really want to take a trip to Portland. That's just how amazing this video is, in my humble opinion. To check out more work by Lance Page, you can visit his website by clicking here.
