mt. tam

mt. tam holds a very special place in my heart.  i could sit for hours on its summit looking out in all directions, down to pacifica, over the city, east to richmond, imagining i were an ant living on a relief map of the bay area.  there everything becomes clear to me; how the san andreas, the bays, the peaks and suburbs all relate to one another logically.  i'd always wondered what it's like to sit up in that lookout house behind the razor wire; this video does a wonderful job capturing that perspective, and then some. the time lapses, especially at night blew my mind.  enjoy!
