TIMELESS: The most breathtaking cinematography ever filmed from the U.S. National Parks

Our lives have become overly routine. Every morning, many of us leave our high-rise apartments or cookie cutter subdivision homes and march off to monotonous jobs.  We get stuck eating at the same chain restaurants, shopping at the same chain stores, and vacationing at the same tourist traps. Tragically, we rarely open our eyes to the unappreciated natural beauty and diversity of the world.

Cinematographer David Fortney has captured some of the most amazing images of the U.S. National Parks. From mountains, forests, and deserts, to rivers, lakes, and oceans, the images are breathtaking. Fortney's mix of aerial, still, and time lapse photography transports us to Death Valley to witness the passing of a thunderstorm, to the Joshua Tree to marvel at the age old rock formations, to the Redwood forest where the trees' majesty dwarfs its surroundings, and to the Grand Canyon where mother nature's hand carved indescribable artwork over thousands of years. For 45 minutes, the viewer is guided through 18 different parks (Arches, Banff, Bryce, Canyon lands, Death Valley, Denali, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Jasper, Joshua Tree, Olympic, Pt. Lobos, Redwood, Salt Point, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion), each with its own distinct architecture and splendor. Consult our Library to discover a full list of titles .
