Time Lapses Show the Beauty of the American West

The plateaus and plains of the American West are a sight to behold, and when an experienced videographer is there to record the region’s beauty, the result can be spectacular. Randy Halverson from South Dakota captured some magnificent natural phenomena in his home state, as well as Wyoming and Utah, then put together this compilation of time lapses. From aurora to meteors to gravity waves, 2014 was a great year for natural beauty in this region. Credit: YouTube/dakotalapse
