This does nothing to deter my current nascent plans of moving from a semi-arid desert to the Pacific Northwest. Nothing, I tell you!

I haven't seen many (any?) time-lapse movies where the camera moves, so that was neat-o.

I wish they hadn't jumped from shot to shot so quickly. I would just start to enjoy a scene and then LEAP we're in the next one and oh you like river, do you? Too bad because BANG we're over here now, looking at a chain-link fence. But don't get too comfortable because FWOOP now it's time for some streams of headlights.

Note that this video dramatically underestimates the amount of cloud cover we actually had this year. Seriously, I don't know where they got all that sun.

Really? I thought there were more sunny days (or partial days) than usual this year....

I thought Finding Portland did a better job of capturing the city, and had a much more stable (and slower) camera rig for the timelapse that didn't make me feel like I was in a Darren Aronofsky movie.

As a long time Portlander, I thought it captured that--what word am I thinking of that describes many a spring climate--oh, yeah--DESPAIR.
