Our planet is a beautiful and wondrous thing to behold. As so many people willingly destroy and pollute our small blue jewel, it's videos like these that really help put everything into perspective. It's easy to feel important and big until you watch this awe-inspiring clip of nature.
From the amazing people at National Geographic, this is a time-lapse video that really captures the utter beauty of the sky. At the one-minute mark, when the beautiful blue sky appears on the right only to be separated by the huge and angry storm-clouds to the left, it becomes clear how powerful mother nature can truly be.
As a storm materializes at the 1:35 mark, one can't help but suddenly feel a sense of dread mixed in with wonder as the powerful black clouds form into one superstorm. Appearing as a whirlpool in the sky, watching the clouds move at this speed makes it almost seem as if you're underwater looking up to the surface. As the angry waves roll in and out there is nothing you can do but smile at the sheer beauty of it all.
It's hard to believe, after watching these beautiful images, that there are people out there who value money and power over the clear blue sky and the green trees of the rainforest.
