You probably already know that California is pretty amazing, but this stunning video will have you appreciating it even more.

Hal Bergman has spent most of his life in California, and wanted to show the world just how beauitful it is. So he made a very cool time lapse video shot throughout the state. From his Vimeo summary:

My goal was to cram all of the visually stunning things about the entire state, from coastline to mountains to deserts, from cities to wilderness and national parks, into four minutes. I intended to use as a pitch for work from the California Board of Tourism, but now I’m sharing it publicly.

The average clip took 1-3 hours to film and another 3-10 hours to edit. Several cuts are from clips more than 24 hours long. I shot 423 clips over four years to make this, but the majority of the 67 clips ultimately used were shot in the last 12 months.

It is obvious how much work went into this, but the results are amazing.  Enjoy this video and enjoy living in California!)
