The Rings Of The Earth

A very imaginative animated piece by Roy Prol showing how beautiful it would have been if our planet had rings like Saturn.

Great for fantasy perhaps but in reality it would cause constant shadow on the planet surface during the day and a bright illuminated thing in the sky at night all the time. Because of the light pollution at night, we would have not been able to see stars and that Milky Way. Moon had not been that significant or must have been disintegrated to become part of the ring. There was debris falling from sky all the time (meteor shower lots of time – resulting in another spectacle!).

A Timelapse Journey with Nature

Under - Art, Inspiration, Media, Nature, Photography

This timelapse showreel is a collection of some of the best Nature moments that Henry Jun Wah Lee captured from 2009 to present.

I grew up in the city — a world constructed of steel, concrete and asphalt. My view of the night sky was the moon and the handful of stars bright enough to outshine the glow of city lights.

My understanding of nature was limited to what I could find at local gardens, parks and zoos. As a kid I never saw the Milky Way with my own eyes. Just on sci-fi television and in books and magazines. My encounters with wild animals were limited to squirrels and pigeons in the city (if those even count as wild).

In 2009, I set out to film nature to share with urban dwellers who, like me, have never ventured outside the routines and comforts of cities. It’s now been two years, many amazing trips, and countless incredible experiences. This film is a compilation of the many highlights captured during this time.
