Video: Cloud Symphony - A Timelapse Journey Through England, Scotland, and the Himalaya

This video seems like a fitting way to close out the week. It features some amazing landscapes from England, Scotland and the Himalaya of India and Nepal, shot in timelapse. In each of these settings, the clouds in the sky overhead add a level of beauty and drama, as they drift by, twisting and turning in the wind. This if five minutes of pure bliss, set to a rousing soundtrack.

Video: The Isle of Skye in Scotland

The Isle of Skye is one of a number of islands that are part of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Skye is a wild, mountainous place, with some amazing landscapes, some of which you'll get to see for yourself in the video below. The use of black and white imagery, and wonderfully atmospheric music, helps to set the scene. This looks like a beautiful place.

Video: The Ridge - Danny Macaskill Takes on the Notorious Cuillin Ridgeline in Scotland

We all know that Danny Macaskill is amongst the most skilled mountain bike riders in the world. But in this video, he returns home to the Isle of Sky in Scotland to take on the Cuillin Ridge, an incredibly technical ride that will require every ounce of skill that he has at his disposal. This is a video that should not be missed. It is an amazing ride that is unlike anything you've seen before, and you may find yourself holding your breath on more than one occasion. Not for the faint of heart, this is simply a fantastic adrenaline rush to send us into the weekend.

Tip of the hat to the Adventure Journal for sharing this.
